Everybody Talks
Neon Trees Lyrics

Hey baby, won't you look my way?
Asking someone to notice and pay attention to them.

I can be your new addiction
Promising to be irresistible and hard to resist.

Hey baby, what you gotta say?
Asking someone to speak their mind and communicate clearly.

All you're givin' me is fiction
Complaining that the other person is not being truthful.

I'm a sorry sucker and this happens all the time
Acknowledging that they always fall for the same thing and get hurt.

I found out that everybody talks
Realizing that people gossip and spread rumors.

Everybody talks, everybody talks
Repeating that everyone talks and gossips about others.

It started with a whisper
Recalling how the gossip and rumors began subtly and quietly.

And that was when I kissed her
Reminiscing about a romantic moment that led to the rumors and gossip.

And then she made my lips hurt
Reflecting on how the romantic moment led to pain and gossip.

I could hear the chit-chat
Hearing the rumors and gossip spreading around them.

Take me to your love shack
Desiring to be taken away from the drama and gossip to a place of love and intimacy.

Mama's always gotta backtrack
Noticing how others, especially parents, try to cover up and fix the gossip and rumors.

When everybody talks back
Being annoyed and frustrated that everyone seems to add their two cents to the gossip and rumors.

Hey honey, you could be my drug
Expressing a desire for the other person to be addictive and intoxicating.

You could be my new prescription
Replacing the old addiction with a new one, which is the other person.

Too much could be an overdose
Realizing that too much of a good thing could also be bad and harmful.

All this trash talk make me itchin'
Feeling uncomfortable and uneasy with all the negative talk and rumors going around.

Oh, my, my
Exclaiming in surprise or shock at how things have turned out.

Never thought I'd live to see the day
Being surprised by how much the rumors and gossip have affected their life.

When everybody's words got in the way
Acknowledging that the gossip and rumors have become an obstacle in their relationships and life.

Hey sugar, show me all your love
Asking for love and affection from the other person.

All you're givin' me is friction
Complaining that the other person is not showing love and affection, but instead causing tension and problems.

Everybody talks, everybody talks
Repeating that everyone talks and gossips about others.

Everybody talks, everybody talks
Repeating that everyone talks and gossips about others.

Everybody talks, everybody talks back
Experiencing how everyone seems to respond to the gossip and rumors, which only leads to more problems and drama.

It started with a whisper
Recalling how the gossip and rumors began subtly and quietly.

And that was when I kissed her
Reminiscing about a romantic moment that led to the rumors and gossip.

Everybody talks, everybody talks back
Experiencing how everyone seems to respond to the gossip and rumors, which only leads to more problems and drama.
