We Just Wanna Talk

So i'm standing in a bullet

Staring down a greasy gun

And i'm rubbing people's shoulders

But i'm miles from everyone.

We're hugging without touching,

Accepting by refusing

And that sound of awkward of silence

Isn't awkward if it's soothing

To the grumpy, grey, old grandma

Who saw the first king kong

Is she at peace or pissed off with the damp?

Mocked her joints for way too long.

Looking at your eyelids,

If they open it's a danger,

Oh my god: i'm sharing perfect

Eye-to-eye time with a stranger.

One who will forget me like

The stars forgot the day,

I guess we always were the crosses

On a graph anyway.

If our eyes do share a tiny

Part of time together

It's spend planning how we'll look

Away from one another.

A man with awful glasses wonders

Where it is she goes

As he spies a woman sleeping

That he doesn't even know,

And the wrinkles on the faces

Of the people that i see

In this clikety-clakety bullet

Make sense to me.

We just want to talk, but we are way too scared.

We just want to talk, but there's silence here instead.

We just want to talk, you can never talk enough,

But we can't even talk no more,

So how we s'posed to love?

She sits and she examines

With a screwed expression,

Should've checked it in the shop

And now she'll never lesson.

Thinks she got short changed

So she checks her receipt,

But i can see the one pound

Twenty by her feet.

But can i tell her, can i? no.

'cause that was force us to connect,

And that makes me a weirdo

With a screw loose in my head.

And our hearts are always close

To everything that they can get,

Because it's better to be safely sorry,

Everything's a threat.

A man is busy munching

And he's loving every bite,

Spending time with some doritos

Before he meets his wife,

And i can stare at you for hours,

I could help you with a word,

But pretend you cannot see me,

It'll never get heard.

Practicing a speech to

Himself once again,

Over and over, 'til

She smiles in his head and says

"okay dad, i know that

You gotta work late,

And i'm not gonna cry

If you miss my play".

We just want to talk, but we are way too scared.

We just want to talk, but there's silence here instead.

We just want to talk, you can never talk enough,

But we can't even talk no more,

So how we s'posed to love?

I can see myself in all of you

And all of you in me

But a frightened little planet,

Most of all, is what i see.

The best friend you never made

Could be one foot away

And end up anonymous

Because you never tried to say

"hey". look at that,

It's a lady with a pram,

I'm not gonna help her

But i do give a damn.

It's just that if i offer to

She might go crazy,

And think i think she's weak

'cause she's a lady with a baby.

I really don't think

Anyone knows anymore

When to talk and so we don't

'cause we're just not sure.

And this is why people kinda just

Wanna be alone,

So they start little groups

That just grow and just grow

And they think one thing

And it keeps them safe,

Until another group of people

Have something else to say,

And both groups don't even

Know what they believe anymore,

They just know who they hate

And so they start themselves a war.

We just want to talk, but we are way too scared.

We just want to talk, but there's silence here instead.

We just want to talk, you can never talk enough,

But we can't even talk no more,

So how we s'posed to love?

We just want to talk, but we are way too scared.

We just want to talk, but there's silence here instead.

We just want to talk, you can never talk enough,

But we can't even talk no more,

So how we s'posed to love?
