Talk to You (ft. Elton John)

When my face is all changed from the cruelty of age

I′ll still miss you

In a dream, you forgave me and I almost did it myself

'Til I woke back up

I′m always procrastinating

Evading the job of going through them boxes in the attic

As long as they're in the dark

There's a flickering spark we′d repair

Just wanna talk to you

Wanna talk with my best friend

Wanna let go of everything that I carry

Wanna shoulder some of yours instead

I wanna hurt with you

Hurt with somebody who understands

Have the strength to truly like myself

And have the love to take someone′s hand

I was down in the Low Lights

Gettin' hounded by moths and dickheads

Your uncle came in, I geared up for one on the nose

He was sombre and kind as I self-flagellated and grovelled

Told me to come back, but I cheated and it′s over

Shrinks somehow link it all back to my upbringing

But I don't want an excuse for my mess

I just wanna talk to you

Wanna talk with my best friend

Wanna let go of everything that I carry

Wanna shoulder some of yours instead

I wanna hurt with you

Hurt with somebody who understands

Have the strength to truly like myself

And have the love to take someone′s hand

I wanna talk to you

I wanna talk to you

Oh, I just wanna talk to you

Only wanna talk to you

Only wanna talk to you

Only wanna talk to you, talk to you

Seven years wrapped in youth's great love

Picked me up and sucked the cancer from my bones

Your old man loved me like a son he never had

And I ate him outta house and home

I have learnt and I will never stop learning

My failures are my prized possessions

I don′t deserve to talk to you

But I hope that I can root for you

Give 'em hell, darling
