Talking It To Death

Shouting words across a room, it’s the closest that we’ll get
Words can seem to fill the gloom, but the heart is empty yet
Know you wanna talk it out, go until we’re out of breath
But the words go just so far, what we feel is what we are
Don’t go talking it to death

We don’t need more conversation
Love don’t need an explanation
Knew without a sound, you were the one
Let’s just put the words away and play it
From the heart, that’s how we’ll say it
Talking it to death won’t get it done

Got to act on what we feel and then let the feelings out
Love is spoken with a glance, ain’t that what it’s all about?
Get to know you when we touch and a touch is never heard
Put your hand inside of mine, girl, we’ve got so little time
Let’s not waste it all on words

Words can bring on complications
What you mean and why’d you say it?
Kind of thing you end up fighting about
When the words are coming fast and heavy
Thinking where’s this gonna get me?
Not that I love you, but let me out

I just wanna feel you close, close is worth a thousand words
Don’t think shouting ‘cross a room makes it anything but worse
It’s not where we wanna go, but that’s where it’s gonna lead
If there’s still some feeling left, let’s not talk it all to death
Baby, life is what we need

Baby, life is what we need
