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
