Talk About It
Superheart Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You want it straight
But I've got too much on my plate

Cut by the strings
Let's see what good this love brings

We can talk about it
Yeah we can talk about it

But we only ever talk about it
We only ever talk about it

We might pretend
We might dream ways this could end

We seem so sure
But I don't know what we're dreaming for

We can talk about it
Yeah we can talk about it

But we only ever talk about it
We only ever talk about it

The second verse delves further into the uncertainty and confusion within the relationship. The line "We seem so sure, but I don't know what we're dreaming for" highlights the superficial nature of their conversations and dreams for the future. Despite being able to talk about their issues, there is a lack of depth and genuine connection.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of dissatisfaction and longing for a deeper connection within the relationship, but the personal struggles of one person prevent them from fully engaging with their partner.
