Talk To Me
Domestic Science Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too many times precious hours are spent
Lost in the flurry, lost in the fury of pain
You've seen the scars that I rarely show
Is your love less for me because of what you know
Remember only driftwood goes with the flow
Talk to me - tell me what's in your head
Or don't talk at all and just cry instead
I'll wipe your tears then I'll understand
Talk to me - you say your lot is too rough
But, watching you hurt is almost as tough
You've been with me through thick and thin
Now I'm here for you, oh, please let me in
Walk away - run and hide I don't care
Or don't care - come around if you dare
Don't question why
Letters are learned as a child of three
When rearranging the alphabet tree
I'd try to put the U much closer to I
