Talk

Drivin′ up the mountain, ears poppin’ as we climb
It can be risky after sundown, when the roads turn serpentine
We run out of conversation, day runs out of light
Silent, watchin′ high beams, interrupt the night

Ooh
Ooh

Why can’t we talk anymore?
We used to talk for hours
Do I make you nervous or bored?
Or did I drink you to the last drop?

Your body loomin’ like a specter, hungry as a scythe
If you come reapin′, I′ll come runnin’, I still know what you like
But just like they say that you can never go home
I could not love you the same way two days in a row

Ooh
Ooh

Why can′t we talk anymore?
We used to talk for hours
Do I make you nervous or bored?
Or did I drink you to the last drop?

Why was our best sex in hotels
And our worst fights in their stairwells?
I was by your side, eye to eye
When you thought you were living in a private hell

I didn’t mean to start
Talking in the past tense
I guess I don′t know what I think
‘Til I start talking
