lyrics

Yeah, I know how this goes already
You’ll call me up and I’ll say I’m busy
Then later I’ll show up when I’m feeling lonely
But we’ll just argue about each others’ favorite movies
‘Cause you hate romance and I don’t care for action

I never told you anything
But I would if I thought you’d listen
You never tell me anything
But somehow I’m still here

I want to be honest
Because I can’t tell what you’re thinking
And there’s so much that I need you to know
I’m sick of the surface
And all these pointless conversations
Can we let the pleasantries go?

Yeah, I know how this goes already
I’m fired up and my mood is heavy
I’m ready to dig up seven years of history
But you’d rather tell the waiter all your funny stories
So I just shut down, and we keep moving backwards

I never told you anything
But I would if I knew you’d listen
You never tell me anything
But somehow I’m still here

I want to be honest
Because I can’t tell what you’re thinking
And there’s so much that I need you to know
I’m sick of the surface
And all these pointless conversations
Can we let the pleasantries go?

You wouldn’t believe the people I’ve met
Talked all night in eight cities, we’ve got no secrets left
I want less of this and more of that
Reciprocity and total respect

I want to be honest
Because I can’t tell what you’re thinking
And there’s so much that I need you to know
I’m sick of the surface
And all these pointless conversations
Can we let the pleasantries go?
