Small Talk Lyrics

I wish that I could try ta bite my tongue (maybe)

Shut my mouth insteada lettin' it run

To every damn body I meet

Perfect strangers on the street

Should be so easy to repeat a headline, (maybe say)

I like your jacket, hate the traffic on the five

No, it don't matter what I do

Only thing I'm bringing up is you

You keep coming up in small talk

Taking all the thoughts in my head

Ain't nothing said about the weather, it's about you instead

All the hurtin' that's still burning can't take the waiting

For a conversation trading deep thoughts

So you keep coming up in small talk

They see me coming, I can see 'em steering clear

I've know left 'em with a thousand mile stare

Before and I let it all get outta hand

They can't understand but I'll be damned

You keep coming up in small talk

Taking all the thoughts in my head

Ain't nothing said about the weather, it's about you instead

All the hurtin' that's still burning can't take the waiting

For a conversation trading deep thoughts

So you keep coming up in small talk

I tell 'em how I love and I trust

How you run when you lust

All the signs, and the lines I read between

I philosophize the pain

Point the blame, call you names

I put you down enough

But you keep coming up

You keep coming up in small talk

Taking all the thoughts in my head

Ain't nothing said about the weather, it's about you instead

All the hurtin' that's still burning can't take the waiting

For a conversation trading deep thoughts

So you keep coming up in small talk
