Small talk

Small talk with your friends
It just so happens
You left me a promise
Unfulfilled again

Small talk with my friends
It just so happens
I latched on to a promise
Unspoken
Your hair in my face
Your laugh reverberates
In my head, what you said
Has me stuck in that day

Your car on my street
Parked beneath the plum tree
Sometimes in my dreams
I still hear you knocking
We sit at my place
Talking to you doesn't feel like a waste of time

Trying not to pretend
You know what happens
Lie and say it again
A sweet reminder
Looking over your shoulder
I'll lose it too
It helps that i'm honest
When i'm with you

Small talk with your friends
Don't let this happen
I flew over treetops
Just to get some distance
Perspective is useless from this point of view
I know i am biased when i speak of you

Small talk / calm down
Rebalance / react
You answer with silence
You're not coming back
Break down / fall back
You kept me intact
I reject the notion that you have what i lack
