Talk
EMMA SEE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Thought it'd be different to see you again
But now you're right there
I can't even pretend

It's unlikely that you
Get to see me later
So notorious (hmh)
Dropped a penny and I
Thought you got the memo
Isn't obvious

Say you're over it
But how come all you do is talk about me
You think you're moving on
But really you just think about me
Your lips in motion
And all I hear is talk talk talk

talk talk talk

talk talk talk

Telling me that you've been thriving on your own
And I don't know why you need to let me know
God I'm so bored of this conversation
So could we cut communication
I don't really wanna talk to you
Talk to you

It's unlikely that you
Get to see me later
So notorious (hmh)
Dropped a penny and I
Thought you got the memo
Isn't obvious

Say you're over it
But how come all you do is talk about me
You think you're moving on
But really you just think about me
Your lips in motion
And all I hear is talk talk talk

talk talk talk

talk talk talk

Talk talk talk

(All you do is, all you do is talk)

Talk talk talk

Really you just think about me

Al you do is talk talk talk





Talk talk talk
