The Paper Kites – A Silent Cause Lyrics 9 years ago
@[saudade:16364] I just want to add one thing to this interpretation.

The chorus "I don't want to love you. I want to learn you. But I'd love to know you well." It seems confusing at first why he uses "But", since "learn you" and "know you well" are the same thing. It turns out "learn" here means "teach", so:

"I don't want to simply love you, I want you to get to know more about me. But since you're not interested in me, I'm fine with just knowing about you."

His real wish is to get her to learn about him.
