Talk to You
Ricky Montgomery Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Been a pretty long time
Been a pretty long time
Since you saw me last
Since I saw you last
Wonder if we met today
Would it all end up the same?
Would you take me for a ride?
Would you toss me to the side?

I wish I could talk to you
Pull my chair right up there next to you
And talk to you
Oh, baby (what? No)
I wish I could talk to you
Pull my chair right up there next to you
And talk to you

You′re in my head more often than I want
More often than I wanna tell you
You're in my head more often than I want
More often than I want

Been a pretty long time
Been a really long time
Sincе you saw me last
Since I saw you last
Wonder if wе met today
Would you turn and walk away?
Would you take me for a ride?
Would you toss me to the side?

I wish I could talk to you
Pull my chair right up there next to you
And talk to you
Oh, baby (ha-ha-ha-ha)
I wish I could talk to you
Pull my chair right up there next to you
And talk to you

You′re in my head more often than I want
More often than I wanna tell you
You're in my head more often than I want
More often than I want
You're in my head more often than I want
More often than I want (I wish I could talk)
You′re in my head more often than I want
More often than I want

I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could talk to you




I wish I could talk to you
I wish I could talk to you

Overall Meaning

Ricky Montgomery's song, "Talk to You," contemplates the possibility of reconnecting with someone from the past. The lyrics communicate a sense of regret and longing for a person they haven't seen in a long time. The song's opening lines, "Been a pretty long time, since you saw me last? Since I saw you last?" demonstrate Montgomery's desire to connect with this person again. However, the lyrics also express some reluctance to reconnect, as the singer wonders if things would "end up the same" if they met again.


The lyrics focus on the singer's thoughts and feelings about this lost relationship, with lines like "You're in my head more often than I want, more often than I wanna tell you" showing the depth of the singer's feelings. The chorus, "I wish I could talk to you, pull my chair right up there next to you, and talk to you," serves as a refrain that repeats throughout the song. This repetition emphasizes the singer's desire to reconnect and have a conversation with their lost love.


Overall, "Talk to You" is a poignant reflection on the desire to reconnect with someone from the past, even though it's not clear whether such a connection would actually be possible or fruitful.

I love this song and I think it's criminally underrated, the amount of times I've listened to it on loop is kinda terrifying but please keep up the amazing work!

Ok but like Montgomery using an anime boy as a mascot for a slow music video? Elite marketing techniques right there.
