Small Talk

[Verse 1]
It's been a few weeks
I thought I'd reach out
I hope this message finds you well
And you're doin' alright
I kinda miss you
No, that's a lie
I miss you so much that it hurts
And I cry every night
It's in the mornings
That's when I remember
That you're gone
You won't be calling my phone ever
So, I go on a walk
I talk to myself
It might seem crazy
But it's the only thing that helps

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything is changing
Why do we have to speak like strangers?

[Chorus]
I can't do small talk with you
'Cause every time that I do
All I wanna say is something really big
Like "Don't you wanna come home?
I hate bein' alone"
All our conversations leave me wanting more
'Cause we'll always be too big
Yeah, we'll always be too big for small talk

[Verse 2]
You sound so formal
So far removed
From the lazy ways we'd spend our afternoons
But what can I expect? (Can I expect)
'Cause we're not together (We're not together)
So, now all we talk about is work and weather
It's so serious
God, I hate this
Why are you acting like you haven't seen me naked? (Seen me naked)
All our history
Just forgotten
Now I understand what it means to be heartbroken

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything is changing (All has changed)
Why do we have to speak like strangers?

[Chorus]
I can't do small talk with you
'Cause every time that I do
All I wanna say is something really big
Like "Don't you wanna come home?
I hate bein' alone"
All our conversations leave me wanting more
'Cause we'll always be too big
Yeah, we'll always be too big for small talk

[Spoken Outro]
Oh, God
It's like grieving someone
Grieving someone who's still alive
Like, not many don't wanna, like, be forward
Without this person in my life in the same way
But I have to
And that's, like, the hardest part
