"Seemed True" lyrics

"Seemed True"

It seemed true, and it was too
I expect to be fooled, to be won over by no-one
Oh, but when I was won, I was not fooled
Maybe it's a little soon, he moved in on the weekend
Was it the way he tied his shoes?
The careful way he placed them in my hallway
I saw it all change or just the same, the same as it's always been
I've always known better, I'm never taken
Till I was taken in, glad not to know better
To know the pleasure of being somewhere

Oh, in your youth, you wanted to know only the truth
And so you were so confused, how so much escaped you
Left with so little, you felt like you'd been robbed
I sat down beside you so lost
And you feel like love would not hold still for you
The sun dropped and the evening brought a chill that you shivered through
For all you knew
You expect to be moved, to be shaken and shuddering
Ah, but when you shook, you were not moved
And I can't do this for you, if you won't allow me to
