Constant Conversations
Passion Pit Lyrics

Well you're wrapped up in a blanket and you're staring at the floor
You seem upset and you're avoiding eye contact by staring at the ground while wrapped in a blanket.

The conversation's moderated by the noisy streets below
The sounds of the streets outside are serving as a background for our conversation.

I never wanna hurt you baby, I'm just a mess with a name and a price
I care for you a lot, but I'm not perfect and sometimes my flaws come with a cost.

And now I'm drunker than before, they told me drinking doesn't make me nice
I drank more than I should have, and I know it doesn't make me easier to deal with.

You never know where some people will go
It's hard to predict how someone will react or what they'll do in certain situations.

Yeah some people been hurtin' me
There are individuals who have caused me emotional pain.

You can tell by look, by the slightest crook, in the neck or the blink of an eye
You can often read a person's emotions based on their facial expressions and subtle body language.

Well then we'll see what they say and we'll do what they do
We'll follow what others say or do, but that won't necessarily be the best course of action.

But that doesn't mean a goddamn thing
Just because we do what others do doesn't guarantee success or happiness.

You can listen if you want, you can listen if you don't
You can choose to pay attention to others or not, it's up to you.

Yeah they'll talk, yeah they'll even sing
People will say and do all sorts of things, even make music about it.

Everybody now, oh oh oh oh oh
A catchy chorus meant to be sung along with.

They come singing through the window, singing through the trees, yeah
The voices of others can be heard everywhere and anywhere, even in the natural world.

They're singing trough the bright spring leaves
The world around us is alive and vibrant with sound, especially in the springtime.

Yeah they love you when they need you, but someday you're gonna need to
Some people are only kind to you when they can benefit from the relationship, but eventually you'll want something in return.

Find some other kind of place to go, oh
It's important to find a supportive and healthy environment when you need it.

Now you're standing in the kitchen, and you're pouring out my drink
You're in control and serving me a drink.

Well there's a very obvious difference, and it's that one of us can think
You're more reasonable and thoughtful than I am in this situation.

If there's a bump in the road yeah you fix it,
You're able to handle problems in a calm and effective way.

But for me I'll just run off the road
I'm more likely to react impulsively or make things worse when faced with obstacles.

But tonight you've got me cornered, and I haven't got a place to go
You've backed me into a corner and I don't know how to respond.
