Lyrics Seemed True - The Weather Station

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 it’s just the same, the same as it’s always been
I’ve always known better, I’m never taken in
Till I was taken in, glad not to know better, to know the pleasure of being
somewhere
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
You feel like love would not hold still for you — the sun dropped and the
evening brought a chill that you shivered through, fall all you knew
You expect to be moved, to be shaken and shuddering
Oh, but when you shook, you were not moved
And I can’t do this for you if you won’t allow me to
