The Way It Hurts - Small Talk

Does it destroy you, darling

The thought that we’re just ordinary?

Does it rip your beating heart out of your chest

The thought that one day we’ll carry our regrets

To our graves?

Oh, it’s a made up world, oh, it’s a made up world

I beg you to stay in this moment with me

Oh, it’s a caught up way, oh, it’s a caught up way

I find my heart’s in open space

There is something about you

That I keep coming back to…

For it tastes so sweet

I must admit this glorious defeat

You are the most complete

Person to walk these haunted streets

So dance with me, we’ll work ourselves to a shadow

Wipe your tears on my sleeve

Let it all go, let the future remain unknown

Does it destroy you, darling

To the point of disorder?

You ungraciously decline

Any offer to feel the sun, to seize the flowing tide

To fly high above the ashes

You stay resistant to try appearing sceptical

That life’s begun

You’re walking blind when love is kicking at your heels to run

Oh, it’s a restlessness

A driven stride that mends a broken mind

For under our skin

There is a constant buzz within

And nothing really seems to matter

I’ll display my heart on a silver platter

Escaping the drought, the endless chatter

No, shan’t surrender to paralysis

I haven’t the time

All I see is the

Love you have to show

And as this ache inside grows

The more we have to lose

On we’ll march into the night

Your prickled hands in mine

For it tastes so sweet

I must admit this glorious defeat

You are the most complete

Person to walk these haunted streets

So dance with me

We’ll work ourselves to a shadow

Wipe your tears on my sleeve

Let it all go

Let the future remain unknown

The way it hurts right now we can’t dismiss

But it’s too far till dawn to reminisce

Jump up my dear don’t let it linger

Wrap your love round my hands, my heart round your finger

It’s a life like ours that’s worth attention

Don’t plague ideas into a fourth world dimension

The sky’s so clear, a brilliant gold

And we watch in wonder, our eyes unfold

There’s so much yet to be told, so much that’s not been said

And I don’t want to go home just yet (I don’t want to go home just yet)

I don’t want to go home just yet (I don’t want to go home just yet)

I don’t want to go home just yet (I don’t want to go home just yet)

I don’t want to go home just yet (I don’t want to go home just yet)

I don’t want to go home just yet (I don’t want to go home just yet)

Just yet…

For it tastes so sweet

I must admit this glorious defeat

You are the most complete

Person to walk these haunted streets

So dance with me

We’ll work ourselves to a shadow

Wipe your tears on my sleeve

Let it all go

Let the future remain unknown
