Happy Talk - Mellow Motif

Old, old souls Don't know they're old Until they're on the edge Trying to process the loss of old friends Scars, old scars I keep in jars Collect them like a badge Won't forget the past Those old, old friends Turns out all of my highs are making love to my lows Making fun of my boundaries, sticks, and stones You say "Love", I believe it to the bone If I could see how you see me I could be a little bit happy And through your eyes I realize I could be a little bit happy Ah, ah, ah, a little bit happy Ah, ah, ah, a little bit happy Cold, so cold Even tippy's birds went home But I'm still standing here counting all my tears Trying to feel what you felt for years Turns out all of my highs are making love to my lows Making fun of my boundaries, sticks, and stones You say "Love", I believe it to the bone If I could see how you see me I could be a little bit happy And through your eyes I realize I could be a little bit happy Ah, ah, ah, a little bit happy Ah, ah, ah, a little bit happy Ah, ah, ah, a little bit happy Ah, ah, ah, a little bit happy Ah, ah, ah, a little bit happy Ah, ah, ah

I know you keep your silence. I know that secret better than you. Sometimes all the matters of the heart Are the chaos and the cowardice that keep us apart. I know you want to shut down. I know you think we're better alone. Sometimes all the words are unsaid But you listen to them argue every night in your head. Just breathe in and out. Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you. Please hear me out. Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you. I know that you've been pushed down. I know you think we're better as two. Sometimes well the miracle of love is meaningless And clumsy like the beating of a heart. Just breathe in and out. Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you. Please hear me out. Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you. Calling out. Got to hear an echo got to get to you. When I'm walking out. All I want to do is just talk talk talk to you. Well you can hide away your feelings. And burn your bridges in the dark. But I know you want to break through. But we're worlds apart. Just breathe in and out. Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you. Please hear me out. Because all I want to do is just talk talk talk. And I'm calling out. Got to hear an echo got to get to you. When I'm walking out. Well all I want to do is just talk talk talk to you yeah Talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk Talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk...

Place my chair at the backroom door Help me up, I can't wait anymore Blessed love, the love I've seen Stair by idle stair, faith one path and the second in fear Stare down, a half wit am I read Stare down And tread dependance beneath my feet Step right up, something's happening here Something's happening here

When do you know, you know, you know you learn D'you die in sin, born again With will to wind and wander, climb Through needle neck to consent When do you know, you know, you know you learn Arrive at spring once again And still to rise beyond the tide And mortal track Fretful of fair By straw, by strap Toughening tear Dust to dust, to dust, to dust Consume For what is worth Upon me Nascent, naissant

You think you're in a motif sky (4x) Feels like elevation of my soul And feel sensation's rising out of cold We're intimate strangers And carefully now An idea is growing Somehow...
