If We Started Talking Again

(album: A Heart Is a Terrible Thing to Break - 2023)

When I said, "Don't call me," what I meant was "Call me up"
When I said, "We're over," what I meant was "We're not done"

I'm caught up in the
Late night hoping
Landslide of emotion
Cards out in the open
I still wonder sometimes

If we started talking again
Would talking turn into holding hands
Turn into we're back at your place
Making the same mistakes again and again
Turn into we've been here before
Waterworks and slamming the door
Let's not even try to pretend
We don't know how the story ends
If we started talking again

When I said, "Please, call me," what I meant was "Not so fast"
'Cause our hearts can't handle a future like the past

I'm caught up in the late night closeness
Landslide of emotion
Cards out in the open
Hands right into the fire

If we started talking again
Would talking turn into holding hands
Turn into we're back at your place
Making the same mistakes again and again
Turn into we've been here before
Waterworks and slamming the door
Let's not even try to pretend
We don't know how the story ends
If we started talking again

If we started talking again
Would talking turn into holding hands
Turn into we're back at your place
Making the same mistakes again and again
Turn into we've been here before
Waterworks and slamming the door
Let's not even try to pretend
We don't know how the story ends
If we started talking again
Let's just stop
