Talk About That

It's a lie that you said a goodbye It's the empty side of the bed It's the kid who pretends he loves to hold her hand It's why you skipped the dance It's what they say the bible says So who the hell could understand? It's a train from New York too late To the hospital ward when your knees hit the floor It's your whole damn life inside a drawer 'Cause your parents got divorced It's your dad's apartment door Can't say I love you anymore 'Cause I don't know why we don't talk about that We're all growing up just a little too fast We all have words we can't say back And look too long at a photograph We all got something that we think we lack Holdin' onto bags that we can't unpack All need help but we don't ask Maybe we should talk about that It's youth that rush, it's strange It's all too much change too fast It's all the friends you thought you had And the burn of summers passed How both a bottle on the desk And a heart are made of glass No I don't know why we don't talk about that We're all growing up just a little too fast We all have words we can't say back And look too long at a photograph We all got something that we think we lack Holdin' onto bags that we can't unpack All need help but we don't ask Maybe we should talk about that Oh, I just wanna talk about that Oh, can we talk about it? 'Cause if I'm speaking honestly Yeah, I need you like you need me, oh Yeah, if I'm speaking honestly Yeah, I need you like you need me, darling I do need you darling, yeah It's a plot, it's a grave, all you got It's the dash between the dates, what a cost It's what you make before it stops Why is it so hard to say That life can be a lot And everyone's afraid? No I don't know why we don't talk about that No I don't know why we don't talk about that No I don't know why we don't talk about that No I don't know why
