The Talking Song Lyrics - Is The World Strange Or Am I Strange? - Cosmo Jarvis

So I'm standing in a bullet 

Staring down a greasy gun 

And I'm rubbing people's shoulders 

But I'm miles from everyone. 

We're hugging without touching, 

Accepting by refusing 

And that sound of awkward of silence 

Isn't awkward if it's soothing 

To the grumpy, grey, old grandma 

Who saw the first King Kong 

Is she at peace or pissed off with the damp? 

Mocked her joints for way too long. 

Looking at your eyelids, 

If they open it's a danger, 

Oh my god: I'm sharing perfect 

Eye-to-eye time with a stranger. 

One who will forget me like 

The stars forgot the day, 

I guess we always were the crosses 

On a graph anyway. 

If our eyes do share a tiny 

Part of time together 

It's spent planning how we'll look 

Away from one another. 

A man with awful glasses wonders 

Where it is she goes 

As he spies a woman sleeping 

That he doesn't even know, 

And the wrinkles on the faces 

Of the people that I see 

In this clikety-clakety bullet 

Make sense to me. 

We just want to talk, but we are way too scared. 

We just want to talk, but there's silence here instead. 

We just want to talk, you can never talk enough, 

But we can't even talk no more, 

So how we s'posed to love? 

She sits and she examines 

With a screwed up expression, 

Should've checked it in the shop 

And now she'll never learn the lesson. 

Thinks she got short changed 

So she checks her receipt, 

But I can see the one pound 

Twenty by her feet. 

But can I tell her, can I? No. 

'Cause that was force us to connect, 

And that makes me a weirdo 

With a screw loose in my head. 

And our hearts are always close 

To everything that they can get, 

Because it's better to be safely sorry, 

Everything's a threat. 

This man is busy munching 

And he's loving every bite, 

Spending time with some Doritos 

Before he meets his wife, 

And I can stare at you forever, 

I could help you with a word, 

But pretend you cannot see me, 

It'll never get heard. 

Practising a speech to 

Himself once again, 

Over and over, 'til 

She smiles in his head and says 

"Okay dad, I know that 

You gotta work late, 

And I'm not gonna cry 

If you miss my play". 

We just want to talk, but we are way too scared. 

We just want to talk, but there's silence here instead. 

We just want to talk, you can never talk enough, 

But we can't even talk no more, 

So how we s'posed to love? 

I can see myself in all of you 

And all of you in me 

But a frightened little planet, 

Most of all, is what I see. 

The best friend you never made 

Could be one foot away 

And end up anonymous 

Because you never tried to say 

"Hey". Look at that, 

It's a lady with a pram, 

I'm not gonna help her 

But I do give a damn. 

It's just that if I offer to 

She might go crazy, 

And think I think she's weak 

'Cause she's a lady with a baby. 

I really don't think 

Anyone knows anymore 

When to talk and so we don't 

'Cause we're just not sure. 

And this is why people kinda just 

Wanna be alone, 

So they start little groups 

That just grow and just grow 

And they think one thing 

And it keeps them safe, 

Until another group of people 

Have something else to say, 

And both groups don't even 

Know what they believe anymore, 

They just know who they hate 

And so they start themselves a war. 

We just want to talk, but we are way too scared. 

We just want to talk, but there's silence here instead. 

We just want to talk, you can never talk enough, 

But we can't even talk no more, 

So how we s'posed to love? 

We just want to talk, but we are way too scared. 

We just want to talk, but there's silence here instead. 

We just want to talk, you can never talk enough, 

But we can't even talk no more, 

So how we s'posed to love?
