That Kind of Thing

Do you still try to make jokes when you don't know what to say Do you still don't know how to act when good things come your way Like saying you still don't know when I ask you if you'll stay It's that kind of thing that gets me down They told us on TV things might be coming to an end I said I'd like to smell the sea once more in that event You said: Just let me grab my coat Then grabbed my arm instead It's that kind of thing that gets me down Driving home I said: Let's go to France instead of home You said you'd follow me wherever I would like to go You let me lay my head down slowly on your winter coat It's that kind of thing that gets me down I told you everything I know, which songs and books I like Like the one in which they sing to get that warm and mellow sound While you forgot to mention there were more like me around It's that kind of thing that gets me down You read me bits of books you liked as well, straight from your head You whispered someone's wisdom, lying next to me in bed Like how a truth you don't believe can hurt more than a lie It's that kind of thing that gets me down We sat down on our knees one morning, trying to plant some seeds Believing they would grow to become these famous ancient trees And one day we'd be just like them, all grown-up and proud and tall We lay down in the grass not saying anything at all Just like we did one million times before when we were small It's that kind of thing that gets me down Inside the box you gave me is something I didn't expect It's the one your granddad gave you That you once showed me from your bed I should keep it out of sight but I'll hang it on my wall instead It's that kind of thing that gets me down It's that kind of thing that gets me down
