An encounter leads to the question of speaking up. I found myself in front of a boy who couldn’t stop talking. The more he talked, the quieter I became and the more I fell in love.
lyrics
I never knew a man could have so much to say
But it doesn’t bother me anyway
‘Cause everything that he’s saying
In fact is quite interesting
He’s talking and talking and talking
I can’t even say a word
But to me it’s like I’m meditating
His words are like seeds he’s planting in my ears
And now my heart’s growing like a flower
He’s been talking for hours, but my silence is louder
He’s been talking for hours, but my silence is louder
He’s been talking for hours, but my silence is louder
He’s been so busy talking, he didn’t hear that my silence is louder
He’s jumping from a conversation to another
Going through hard times with past lovers
I find it liberating
To hear a man that’s so open
To me
‘Cause I’m a man who can’t speak
An over-analyser trying not to look weak Oh-oh
My alarm is ringing, my soul is singing
My silence couldn’t be any louder
He’s been talking for hours, but my silence is louder
He’s been talking for hours, but my silence is louder
He’s been talking for hours, but my silence is louder
He’s been so busy talking, he didn’t hear that my silence is louder
If I K.I.S.S. H.I.M.
Maybe he will S.T.O.P talking
And then he’ll S.T.A.R.T seeing
That I’ve been W.A.N.T. ing him
He’s making me thirsty
He talks so much
Can I have some water
He just won’t hush
By the look of his lips
I want to steal a kiss
So I can seal them shut
And let him know what’s up
At the neighbourhood park
On the public bench
In his childhood barrio
By the city’s river
In the uber car
At the salad bar
In the living room couch
By his bedroom door
He’s talking
It’s C.R.A.Z.Y that I
Have to talk in C.O.D.E.S.
To let him K.N.O.W. that I
Want to R.I.P. off all his clothes
If I K.I.S.S. H.I.M.
Maybe he will S.T.O.P talking
And then he’ll S.T.A.R.T seeing
That I’ve been W.A.N.T. ing him
