Talk
Spencer Sutherland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you were laying next to me and I was feeling things
I woke up, I woke up by myself
And now my head won′t stop thinking things 'bout us
And now when I see you I just don′t know how to act
But if I kiss you, I could never take that back
And I got a feeling that you maybe feel it too
All we do is talk (Talk)
When we should be kissing
I keep staring at your lips, but just can't seem to listen
All we do is talk (Talk)
Tell me why we're waitin′
We both know it′s time our bodies have a conversation
All we do is talk, talk, talk
Talk, talk, talk
Can't go back, can′t go back to how it was
I just can't give you up now that I′m feeling love
Down to chase, down to chase, down to try
'Cause now its everything, you being everything to me
Now when I see you, I just don′t know how to act
But if I kiss you, I could never take that back
And I got a feeling that you maybe feel it too
Are we both just waiting for the other to make a move?
All we do is talk (Talk)
When we should be kissing
I keep staring at your lips, but just can't seem to listen
All we do is talk (Talk)
Tell me why we're waitin′
We both know it′s time our bodies have a conversation
All we do is talk, talk, talk
Talk, talk, talk
All we do is talk (Oh Mmm)
All we do is talk
Let's do more than talk
But all we do is talk, talk
All we do is...
All we do is talk (Talk)
When we should be kissing (Kissing)
I keep staring at your lips, but I just can′t seem to listen (Hey)
All we do is talk (Talk)
Tell me why we're waitin′ (Oh Ohhhhh)
We both know its time our bodies have a conversation
All we do is talk, (talk), talk, (talk) talk (All we do is)
Talk, talk, (Oh) talk. (Cause all we do)
The song "Talk" by Spencer Sutherland is a story about a person who had a dream about being close to someone they are attracted to. The dream was so vivid that it made them think about the person all of the time. When they are around the person, they feel unable to control their feelings and don't know how to act. They are afraid of making a move because they don't want to ruin the relationship. The singer feels that they are both waiting for each other to do something, but nobody is taking the first step. The chorus is a plea to stop talking and start physical intimacy.
The song expresses the internal conflict between chasing after the desire and protecting themselves from the consequences of taking risks. The singer is trying to balance their vulnerability and desires against the fear of getting hurt. It's a common theme in love stories, but the lyrics of "Talk" are written in a way that resonates with many listeners.
Spencer’s "Talk" is a simple, catchy tune that speaks to a broad audience. It features a mix of pop and R&B elements, with a strong beat and a smooth melody. The song's lyrics are easy to understand, and it's easy to relate to the situation the singer is in.
