“Talk Tonight” is one of many acoustic B-side tracks sung by Noel, and was at the time, the most vulnerable song he had ever attempted.

[Verse 1]
Sittin' on my own, chewin' on a bone
A thousand million miles from home
When something hit me
Somewhere right between the eyes

'Bout how you saved my life
You and me see how we are
You and me see how we are
[Verse 2]

And you make sure I eat today

To where you played when you were young
I'll never say that I won't ever make you cry
And this I'll say, I don't know why
I know I'm leavin'
But I'll be back another day
[Chorus 2]
I wanna talk tonight
Until the morning light
'Bout how you saved my life (You saved my life)
I wanna talk tonight (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)
'Bout how you saved my life (I wanna talk tonight)
[Outro]
I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight
I wanna talk tonight

He stated something similar in the 2016 documentary Supersonic:
If I close my eye...
