Little Talks
Jon D & Julia Sheer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
And though the truth my vary, this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep, tt's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes

Some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da

There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well, tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over, and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
And though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

You're gone, gone, gone away, I watched you disappear
All that's left is the ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart, there's nothing we can do
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon

Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep

Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
And though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
And though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore





And though the truth may vary, this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

The song opens with the line "Don't listen to a word I say, the screams all sound the same," which suggests that the couple's arguments have become repetitive and unproductive. Despite their struggles, they still believe that their relationship will survive, hence the line "And though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore" - meaning that they will make it through their troubles, if they stick together.


The second verse of the song deals with the idea of a haunted house, with lines like "I don't like walking around this old and empty house," and "The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake," suggesting that the struggles the couple is facing may be caused by some kind of external force.

"Little Talks"

Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes

And some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to see you this way

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey! Hey! Hey!

There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.

Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey!
Hey!

You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep

Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
