Talk

Driving up the mountain, ears popping as we climb It can be risky after sundown when the roads turn serpentine We run out of conversation, day runs out of light Silent, watching high beams interrupt the night Why can't we talk anymore? We used to talk for hours Do I make you nervous or bored? Or did I drink you to the last drop? Your body looming like a specter, hungry as a scythe If you come reaping, I'll come running, I still know what you like But just like they say, that you can never go home I could not love you the same way two days in a row Why can't we talk anymore? We used to talk for hours Do I make you nervous or bored? Or did I drink you to the last drop? Why was our best sex in hotels And our worst fights in their stairwells? I was by your side, eye to eye When you thought you were living in a private hell I didn't mean to start talking in the past tense I guess I don't know what I think till I start talking
