Talk
Darryl Rahn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Talk

Stared at my phone as you were calling
And waited til’ the ringing stopped
It’s not that I don’t wanna talk to you
I don’t wanna talk at all
Home alone and it’s a Friday
All the doors and windows locked

It’s not that I don’t wanna talk to you
I don’t wanna talk at all
It’s not that I don’t wanna talk to you
I don’t wanna talk at all
So try me at another time
You ask me why I’ve been so quiet
“You haven’t said a peep all night”
Well It’s not that I don’t wanna talk to you
I don’t wanna talk at all
It’s not that I don’t wanna talk to you
I don’t wanna talk at all
But I promise I am fine
So don’t worry about a thing
I don’t mean to seem unkind
I just need time to think
It’s not that I don’t wanna talk to you
I don’t wanna talk at all
It’s not that I don’t wanna talk to you

I don’t wanna talk at all
So try me at another time
