small talk

everybody's talking,
gotta get your words in,
you'll never guess what happened to me -
I'll tell you what I think
and have you heard the latest,
I can't believe they did it again

small talk, big talk,
everything I did talk
gotta keep it moving on

well I never was much of a listener,
watch how I twist your
words right bacķ to me
and I know just what you mean,
it reminds me of something I've been through
and I'll tell you exactly what to do

small talk, big talk
everything I've thought talk
gotta tell it to someone

but when the silence comes,
and everybody's gone
I'm not sure where I belong.
and when the silence comes
and I'm all alone
I wonder if I did something wrong.

small talk, big talk
everything I did talk
gotta keep it moving on

and if I don't tell someone
of nobody has seen me
it might as well not have been.
and did it happen to me
did it mean anything
or was it all just dust on the ground?

small talk, big talk
anything at all talk
gotta tell it to someone.

everybody's talking
can't get a word in
edgeways sometimes
and I don't know what I think
and I don't know the latest
and sometimes I find

small talk, big talk
don't know how I got talk
got to move myself along

well I never was much of a drinker
more of a thinker
ain't got much to say
and if you ask me I'll tell ya
but i can't really tell ya
just what's on my mind.

small talk, big talk
someone make them stop talk,
just sit with me a while

cos when the silence comes
but i'm not alone
I'm just sitting with someone.
and when the silence comes
but we don't need to run
then i know that I belong.

and I don't wanna talk
there's more than words
to say sometimes.

short pause, long pause
don't know what comes next pause,
don't care what's behind

short pause, long pause
pieces that connect pause
more than a thousand words

and when the silence comes
and we don't need to run
then i know that I belong.
when the silence comes
but i'm not alone,
I'm just sitting with someone,
I'm just sitting with someone
I'm just sitting with someone,
then I know that I belong
