Talk

Driving up the mountain
Ears popping as we climb
It can be risky after sundown
When the roads turn serpentine
We run out of conversation
Day runs out of light
Silent, watching high beams
Interrupt the night
Ooh
Ooh

Why can't we talk anymore?
We used to talk for hours
Do I make you nervous or bored?
Or did I drink you to the last drop?

Your body looming like a spectre
Hungry as a scythe
If you come reaping, I'll come running
I still know what you like
But just like they say
That you can never go home
I could not love you the same way
Two days in a row
Ooh
Ooh

Why can't we talk anymore?
We used to talk for hours
Do I make you nervous or bored?
Or did I drink you to the last drop?

Why was our best sex in hotels
And our worst fights
In their stairwells?
I was by your side, eye to eye
When you thought you were
Living in a private hell

I didn't mean to start
Talking in the past tense
I guess I don't know what I think
Till I start talking
