Keep Talking
Julia Michaels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give it all that you got, keep talking
Know what you whisper about, from the side of your mouth
Let it keep coming out, keep talking
But I'll take the high, high, high road
I'll take the high road all the way home
I'll take the high, high, high road
'Cause there's nothing you can say to me
That I haven't said to myself
There's nothing you can make me feel
That I haven't already felt
You know, there's nothing you can say to me
That I haven't said to myself
I'll take the high, high, high road
Keep talking
High, high, higher
Keep talking
High, high, higher
Keep talking
You can roll it on out, I could roll it right back
And embellish the fact, I promise
But I'll take the high, high, high road
I'll take the high road all the way home
I'll take the high, high, high road
All the way home, all the way home
'Cause there's nothing you can say to me
That I haven't said to myself
There's nothing you can make me feel
That I haven't already felt
You know, there's nothing you can say to me
That I haven't said to myself
I'll take the high, high, high road
Keep talking
High, high, higher
Keep talking
High, high, higher
Keep talking
High, high, higher
Keep talking
High, high, higher
Ooh, ooh, I'll raise your second hand
Ooh, ooh, yeah, you got more lies than
Truth, don't know what you're trying, what you're trying
To do
'Cause there's nothing you can say to me
That I haven't said to myself (said to myself)
There's nothing you can make me feel (me feel)
That I haven't already felt
You know, there's nothing you can say to me (say to me)
That I haven't said to myself
I'll take the high, high, high road
Keep, keep, keep talking
High, high, higher
Keep talking
High, high, higher
Keep talking
High, high, higher
Keep talking
High, high, higher
