Without Blinking - Superchunk

We kicked over every table

Put our last piece behind the bed

Took some pictures, held them by the edges

Folded every one so they could not be read

Folded all the pictures and the drawings

So they would not know what went on

Subtracted all the good stuff from the bad

So they would not know what went wrong

Did you really do this without thinking?

Or was there some concentration at work?

Cause when you say i’m sorry you were not blinking

You can’t pretend to not know how that hurts

You can’t pretend to not know now

You can’t pretend to not know now

You can’t pretend to not know

And even when the scenery looks good

Must you stare down at the floor?

You say that it will not rain upon us

And I could want nothing more

But I will not mark the time

No I just can’t start the count

Dig up graves that we knocked over

So I’ll meet you when you come down

Did you really do this without thinking?

Or was there some concentration at work?

Cause when you say i’m sorry you were not blinking

You can’t pretend to not know how that hurts

You can’t pretend to not know now

You can’t pretend to not know now

You can’t pretend to not know

Someone’s biting the hook at both ends

Someone’s biting the hook

And makes her spread her legs out
