Emily Osment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every single day, day, every word you say, say
When you move your mouth, mouth
That's all that comes out, out
Just a just a lot a lot a, double double talk talk
All I get from you is double, double, talk talk
Every single time, time, make me lose my mind mind
Just a lot a double double talk, double talk
Hey hey, get your story straight straight
Baby hesitate, baby wait
Cause you know it's gonna blow up in your face
Everyone last night, don't give me those lines
No surprise that I feel
I've been protective on a case
I wish that I could trust you once again
I wish that I could count you as a friend
Hit me with the truth, come on, it's me
I need some honesty, yeah, honestly
All I get from you is double, double, talk, talk
Every single day, day, every word you say, say
When you move your mouth, mouth
That's all that comes out, out
Just a just a lot a lot a, double double talk talk
All I get from you is double, double, talk talk
Every single time, time, make me lose my mind mind
When you move your lips, all I'm hearing is, is
Just a lot a double double talk, double talk
All I get from you is double, double, talk talk
Every single time, time, make me lose my mind mind
When you move your lips, all I'm hearing is, is
Just a lot a double double talk, double talk
Just a lot a double double talk, talk, talk talk
Just a lot a double double talk talk, double talk
Emily Osment's song "Double Talk" expresses frustration with someone who speaks in a way that is dishonest or unclear. The lyrics use repetition to emphasize this point, with the phrase "double, double, talk, talk" and "just a lot a lot a, double double talk talk" appearing throughout the song. The singer is tired of hearing empty promises and wants the other person to be truthful and straightforward.
In the chorus, Emily sings "All I get from you is double, double talk talk, every single day, day, every word you say say." This suggests that the problem is ongoing and that she can't escape the other person's dishonesty. She also says "When you move your mouth, that's all that comes out," which reinforces the idea that the person is incapable of speaking honestly.
The bridge of the song gives some insight into the singer's mindset. She wishes she could trust the other person again and wants honesty. She is direct when she sings "Hit me with the truth, come on, it's me. I need some honesty, yeah, honestly." This shows that the person's double talk has hurt her and damaged their relationship. Overall, the song is a powerful message about the importance of honesty and the frustration that comes with being on the receiving end of double talk.
