Comes & Goes

Judging by your pauses on the phone

What's left unsaid is better left unknown

Maybe we'd be better off alone

The way we used to feel it only comes &

Goes

It comes &

Goes

In the middle of the night I'm pleading

And I know that you're not really sleeping

By the half light of the dawn I'm seething

Counting every minute until you're leaving

You come &

Go

At least we used to care enough to shout

Now we'd rather have our peace than have it out

Uncertainty's been swallowed up by doubt

I guess this is what my folks were always sighing about
