The Dangling Conversation Lyrics

We’re in a room

I’m in a room with you

Reading the news

I’m in a room with you

And we do not speak

Reading poetry

You think I didn’t see

The way you looked at me

And I know you respect

The clout of the unsaid

But when you’re ready to talk about it

Know I am, too

And you watch her cross the room

Set the needle down and turn to you

She’s breaking silence

Seeing through the chemical and calling out the violence

Running out of neon for this sign so you could find it

Hearing what we want, but maybe this time let’s align it

She’s breaking silence

Seeing through the chemical and calling out the violence

Running out of neon for this sign so you could find it

And she won’t hide it anymore

This dangling conversation is a bore

Kinda wanna see what I didn’t see before

And you watch her cross the room

Set the needle down and turn to you

She’s breaking silence

Seeing through the chemical and calling out the violence

Running out of neon for this sign so you could find it

Oh, hearing what we want, but maybe this time let’s align it

She’s breaking silence

Seeing through the chemical and calling out the violence

Running out of neon for this sign so you could find it

And she can’t hide it anymore

This dangling conversation is a bore

What do you think this record’s for

What do you think this record’s for

Set the needle down and turn to you

She’s breaking silence

We’re in a room

She’s breaking silence

We’re in a room

I’m in a room with you

Reading the news

I’m in a room with you

And we do not speak

Reading poetry

You think I didn’t see

The way you looked at me

And I know you respect

The clout of the unsaid

But when you’re ready to talk about it

Know I am, too

Know I am, too

Know I am, too

And you watch her cross the room

Set the needle down and turn to you
