Little Talks
100% NL | Of Monsters And Men Lyrics

I don't like walking around this old and empty house
The singer is uncomfortable and unhappy in their current environment.

So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The singer seeks comfort and safety in their relationship with the person they are addressing.

The stairs creak as you sleep
The house is uncomfortable and eerie, even when the person the singer is addressing is asleep.

It's keeping me awake
The creepy noises in the house are making it difficult for the artist to sleep.

It's the house telling you to close your eyes
The artist perceives the noises in the house as a ghostly presence trying to communicate.

And some days I can't even dress myself
The singer is struggling with their mental health and personal care.

It's killing me to see you this way
The singer is upset to see that the person they are addressing is also struggling.

'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Despite uncertain and chaotic circumstances, the artist believes that they will ultimately be safe and secure with their loved one.

There's an old voice in my head That's holding me back
The artist is struggling with negative thoughts that are hindering their progress.

Well, tell her that I miss our little talks
The artist wishes they could communicate more openly and effectively with the person their addressing.

Soon it will be over and buried with our past
The singer is anticipating a fresh start that will allow them to leave behind their difficulties.

We used to play outside when we were young And full of life and full of love
The artist is nostalgic for happier times.

Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
The singer is struggling with uncertainty.

Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
The person the singer is addressing is also struggling with their perception of reality.

Don't listen to a word I say The screams all sound the same
The singer is acknowledging that their own confusion and struggles may not be helpful to the person they are addressing.

You're gone, gone, gone away I watched you disappear
The artist is grieving the loss of someone they care about.

All that's left is a ghost of you
The only remaining memory of the person the artist cares about is their absence.

Now we're torn, torn, torn apart There's nothing we can do
Despite wishing to be together, external forces have kept the singer and the person they care about apart.

Just let me go, we'll meet again soon
The singer believes that they and the person they care about will eventually reunite.

Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around I'll see you when I fall asleep
The artist is making a promise to the person they care about, in hopes that they can remain connected despite their distance.

Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
The artist's fundamental belief in the safety and security of their relationship remains steadfast.

Though the truth may vary This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
The artist repeats the refrain once more to emphasize their belief and conviction.
