Valley
Mr. Talkbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The chips were stale
But I didn't care
I just wanted to be next to you
I called you up
Said that living sucks
And I just wanted to be next to you
Is it fair to say
Could be any day
I can see that you believe it too
Was it random chance
This unplanned romance
Now all I want is to be next to you
Oh, it's oh-so beautiful
Oh, it's oh-so kind
When the moon above that shines so bright
Shows off our kindred minds
Oh, it's all so new to me
Oh, it's all absurd
When the voices deep within the ground
Are all that's ever heard
I always let on in the car ride home
'Cause the car ride home's so slow
And if you need to do your work
With your high beams on
Put your high beams on, let's go
I'd be feeling pretty nice
If I could live this moment twice
Oh, but I always need to go
I'm getting higher every day




You take me there, I wanna stay
Oh, if only you could know
