lyrics

This lonely ride
Put me here to decide
On which way I should go
So I bought this piano

I found a girl
Hidden behind the world
And we tried to make it right
But the silence won the fight

There’s nothing to talk about
There’s nothing to say
I should staple my mouth shut
Before it gets in the way

Why do we have to talk to really feel good?
Why can’t we just be comfortable like this?
I’ll hold your hand and hope it says the right thing
But then you flinch. Why did you flinch?

So I studied facts
And I’m planning my attack and I
Hope I will defeat your shield
And discover something here that’s real

Then that time has come
Yet I stumble on my tongue
I’m amiss on what I should do
Turn the tube on and watch the news

So there’s something to talk about but
There’s nothing to say
Hope she’s happy with our current affair
And she’s wants me to stay… today

But am I dreaming away
With thoughts she’s thinking of a million ways
To be rid of me ASAP
Then she serves up milk and and awkward joke and
A stream of white flows out of my nose
I need a dose of quik confidence
As she wonders about me
I’m dizzy. Dizzy

Then out of this gloom
I accidentally found her room
And every wall in her little space
Is thumb tacked a familiar face
And it allowed me to breathe
Like a fish thrown back at sea
So we stayed up and talked till we’d
Stop repeating happily
Timmy Rogers is the best

We’re sounds as ever now that we can talk for hours
These nervous kids are forever gone, gone, gone
I’m known as Mr Milk in someone else’s home
Good morning meals and hourly daily rumbles
