Lyrics
Small Talk
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You say God is great
And then you comment on the weather
You say this line is straight
But there's nothing for you to measure
And it's always like
You've got some big ideas
But your small talk's even bigger
From crown to lips
This bottleneck is not considered
Why's it always like
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
You can brush aside a heart as you try to weigh the Sun
But the letters on your tongue get lighter and lighter
But who isn't lonely some nights
And who isn't fighting some fight
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You feel a great big cloud
And somehow attach it to a dollar
You talk from both sides of your mouth
As the galaxy gets smaller
And it's always like
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
You can brush aside a heart as you try to weigh the Sun
But the letters on your tongue get lighter and lighter
'Cause who isn't lonely some nights
And who isn't fighting some fight
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
You gotta say something
'Cause I'm hearing nothing
