There Was
Pulp Lyrics

We're talking again
We have resumed communication and are engaging in conversation once more.

Smiling and laughing
We are expressing joy and amusement through our facial expressions and laughter.

Ignoring the past
We are consciously making an effort to not bring up previous issues or events that could lead to conflict or negativity.

Well I hope you're happy
I am expressing a desire for you to be content and satisfied with the current situation and our interactions.

I know there was something
I am aware that there was a unresolved issue or unspoken thought between us.

Please don't let it die away
I am pleading with you to not allow this topic to fade into obscurity or be forgotten without resolution.

I know what you're thinking
I am confident in my understanding of your current thoughts and mindset.

I know what you want to say
I recognize and comprehend the message you intend to convey, without you expressing it explicitly.

I won't give it names
I will refrain from labeling or categorizing this unspoken matter, as doing so may not effectively address or solve the underlying issue.

For names have no uses
I believe that assigning a specific title or term to this situation will not positively impact our communication or resolution.

Just shots in the dark or easy excuses
Giving this issue a name could potentially lead to addressing it without fully understanding it, or to using a label as a means of avoiding further discussion or responsibility.

I know there was something
I reiterate that I recognize there was an underlying issue that has not been fully addressed.

Please don't let it die away
Again, I implore you to not allow this topic to fade away without being addressed or resolved.

I know what you're thinking
Once more, I confidently understand your current thoughts and perspective.

I know what you want to say.
I again acknowledge the message you intend to express, without you stating it directly.
