Me and Annie were sitting in the car
We were playing the tape you made
There were some songs that I wouldn’t have chosen
But all in all, we both agreed that it was pretty great

We weren’t really talking about anything
We felt pure and unadulterated
I would forget why we were laughing
And she would forget what we came to the car for

I thought I saw you the other day
I was in the park by your old job
Ain’t it funny how the city keeps beating on
After we’re long gone?

You used to say we were too pretty for this place
That night you said a lot of dumb things
You were as soft as I always wondered

I always wondered
What you were like when you were younger
What were you like?

I saw your eyes that night
They looked like empty pools of light
They looked like diamonds
And they were trying to tell me something
They said nothing
It was a little after midnight when the first few drops fell
Did you feel them, honey?
Or did you feel nothing?

Did you feel nothing?
Did you feel nothing?

I’m forgetting faster than I ever thought I could
I’m learning I can give up trying to do good
The stars out here shine pretty
They are numerous and pure

I never cry
I never scream
I know I should

And I’m forgetting faster than I ever thought I could
I’m learning I can give up trying to do good
The stars out here shine pretty
They are numerous and pure

I never cry
I never scream
I know I should

I never cry
I never scream
I know I should
I never cry
I never scream
I know I should
