Small Talk

Francis Karel

5

I still think about you in October

Yeah, it was this time last year you came over

Drove all the way to PasadenaJust for some shitty frozen pizza

We fell in love on the sofa

Gettin′ drunk, didn't care about hangovers

I′d do anything to make you happy

Thought you'd always love me

Used to stay up talkin' in the back of your car

Talkin′ five year plans like we′d make it that far

Every good thing ends

We just don't know when

Used to drive past houses, pick the ones we would buy

Guess forever is a word that we romanticized

Every good thing ends

We just don′t know when

Now all we have is small talk

How's the weather? Did your Mom call?

When are you gonna say that you can′t stay

'Cause you gave in

Now all we have is small talk

I wonder where we got lost

Somewhere along the way

You changed the rules you were playing

But I′d rather have small talk

Than nothing at all

Is there anything I can do better?

Get things back to the way that they were when I met you

Wanna be all you ever wanted

Please don't say I'm not

Used to stay up talkin′ in the back of your car

Talkin′ five year plans like we'd make it that far

Every good thing ends

We just don′t know when

Now we're strangers sleepin′ in the same old bed

Yeah, you turn your back and I turn my head

Every good thing ends

We just don't know when

Now all we have is small talk

How′s the weather? Did your Mom call?

When are you gonna say that you can't stay

'Cause you gave in

Now all we have is small talk

I wonder where we got lost

Somewhere along the way

You changed the rules you were playing

And I shouldn′t have kept on my feelings from ruinin′ the show

Now I'm on stage singing songs to your ghost

I love you, still strangers inside the same home

Holding on an empty hope

Sometimes I wonder if pain′s all I know

'Cause I should be happy whenever you call

The longer I stay the harder the fall

And I should know better

But I′d rather have small talk

Than nothing at all
