Hey, how are you? How’ve you been?

I never thought I’d hear your voice again

I’m not here to place the blame

But clearly you cannot recall my name

​

Let’s get down to it

Was it something I said?

I think I blew it

I should’ve shut up instead

​

Why don’t we talk?

Open up a dialogue and talk

Interact in analog and talk

The way we did when we were growin’ up

The way we did when we were growin’ up

​

We used to be inseparable

The bond we had was undeniable

It comes but once in a blue moon 

But tragically it petered out too soon

​

Let’s get right to it

I’ll take my share of the blame

If we get through this

I promise you I can change

I can change

​

Why don’t we talk?

Open up a dialogue and talk

Interact in analog and talk

Find a way to get along and talk

I want to know what’s going on

​

I’ve got so much to say

My thumbs just get in the way

But every word that I choose

Is one more weapon you can use

​

Why don’t we talk? 

Damn the awkward silences and talk? 

Tick away the hours on the clock? 

Go outside and maybe take a walk?

What could happen if we were to talk? 

​

All I want to do is have a word with you

All I want to do is have a word with you

The way we did when we were growing up

The way we did when we were growing up
