Talk About That

It's a lie that you said, a goodbye
It's the empty said 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 dads 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
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 past
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
Yeah, 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-I-I don't know why
