Codes
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.
(Talking in code, ta-talking in code)
Oh no, I should be leaving
Or at least believing
I believe that I want to believe in something
Oh no, I should leave you
But instead I can't leave you alone
Are we talking in love? Or just talking in code?
(Talking in code, ta-talking in code)
Don't tell me 'bout my heart, I know, I know, I know
It beats out of time
But I'll give you a head-start on decoding this head of mine
I said peace to my peace of mind
When I made peace with that fact that
I am going to love you till the day I die
Then I'll rest in pieces, pieces of you and I
(Talking in code, ta-talking in code)
Oh no, don't think that I
Haven't already figured you out
Your head's become my house
Boy you're talking so loud, but ain't opened your mouth now
Oh no, I can't shake off
This chip on my shoulder
Guess that I'm getting older
But if you come closer
I'll surrender composure
Oh no, I should leave you
But instead I can't leave you alone
Are we talking in love?
Or just talking in code?
Don't tell me 'bout my heart, I know, I know, I know
It beats out of time
But I'll give you a head-start on decoding this head of mine
I said peace to my peace of mind
When I made peace with that fact that
I am going to love you till the day I die
Then I'll rest in pieces, pieces of you and I
(Talking in code, ta-talking in code)
Don't tell me 'bout my heart, I know, I know, I know
It beats out of time
But I'll give you a head-start on decoding this head of mine
I said peace to my peace of mind
When I made peace with that fact that
I am going to love you till the day I die
Then I'll rest in pieces, pieces of you
And I
(Talking in code, ta-talking in code)
