Talkin'
The Massacoustics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta try to keep it
Nobody else should know
Late in the evening
Sneaking off and meeting
In the shadows alone
Although we know it's wrong
We should just call it off
How long will it take till we finally get caught
You can always catch somebody talkin'
Somebody's always running at the mouth
You can always catch somebody talkin′
Mmm, it′s a small town
It's a small town
Gotta try our best
To put it out of our heads
But our hearts are weighing out
Living dangerously
Girl, I swear I see
Suspicious eyes around
Although we know it′s wrong
Our love's still strong
We should just call it off
How long will it take till we finally get caught
You can always catch somebody talkin′
Somebody's always running at the mouth
You can always catch somebody talkin′
Mmm, it's a small town
It's a small town
Although we know it′s wrong
Our love′s still strong
We should just call it off
How long will it take till we finally get caught
You can always catch somebody talkin'
Somebody′s always running at the mouth
You can always catch somebody talkin'
Mmm, it′s a small town
It's a small town
It′s a small town
It's a small town
