lyrics

There's a look that you get when you're looking at me
And I try to deny that it's serious
There's a thing in your eyes that you think I don't see
And it's starting to come between us
And I'm mostly afraid of the things you don't say
And I hate to complain, but I do it anyway

chorus:
I'm talking to you
I said I'm talking to you
I can't stand not knowing where I stand
And I can't stand thinking what you might be thinking
Lips and hearts should go hand in hand
I'm trying to get through
I'm talking to you

There's a chill in the air as you sit in your chair
And carefully chew your vegetables
There's a sound that I hate when you're scraping your plate
And I'm thinking it might be intentional
We've had these frozen dinners for far too long
Why don't you spit it out?
Tell me what's going on

(repeat chorus)

Why do you talk to the TV more than to me?
Don't be so remote; devote some time to me

I'm talking to you
I said I'm talking to you
I can't stand not knowing where I stand
And I can't stand thinking what you might be thinking
Lips and hearts should go hand in hand
I'm trying to get through
I'm trying to get through...

I'm talking to you
I said I'm talking to you
I can't stand not knowing where I stand
And I can't stand thinking what you might be thinking
Lips and hearts should go hand in hand
I'm trying to get through
I'm talking to you
I'm talking to you
