Lyrics:

Just another day alone watching sun turn to street lamp
I'm pent up in a way that I just can't
Turn upon its ear
Just another lover opportunity that I misplayed
I cannot refute that in this way
I'm comfortable with me

You talk and you talk but I don't hear
The words that are key when you draw near
I shy them all away

Wasting words on the naive is how I'd describe this
She must be insane just to persist
Try the better ear
Falling madly in love with an effortless daydream
She's laying it thicker than heavy cream
But the coffee still stays cold

You talk and you talk but I don't hear
The words that are key when you draw near
I shy them all away
You're saying the words that I've dreamed of
I'm walking away from a true love
With every word I don't say

Just another day along watching sun turn to street lamp
I'm pining to take all the time back
And fill it with the truth
Just another lover opportunity that I mistook
For pickup lines and marionette hooks
That would have tangled me

You talk and you talk but I don't hear
The words that are key when you draw near
I shy them all away
You're speaking the words that I've dreamed of
I'm walking away from a true love
With every word I don't say
