Lyrics Talk the Talk - Quinn Cicala

She leaves for work again and I'm stuck skipping pages
A couple days from now I'll still be on the basics
Write a few lines about suffering and death then put it down
And head back to my grandparent's house
A busted transmission and a living situation
Problems seem to bubble up and then I have to face them
And it's so cold that I wear three layers at all times
I don't wanna leave but I don't wanna stay inside
I don't wanna stay inside

Three nights away and I just wanna fill a page
I feel uninspired and depressed but I gotta take a pace
If I spent half my time sitting around thinking about music playin it
Well I think I'd be really good
In a restaurant with you but your eyes won't meet mine
I tried to hold your hand but it was poorly timed
I feel angry and I don't know why
Forming words is only easy when I've got a rhyme
And I can talk the talk but I can't walk the walk
And I can talk the talk but I can't walk the walk
I can talk the talk all night long

I work all the time for the sake of being stable
Where the money is I haven't figured out where it goes
And I save up for the next time i leave town and I come back
And I'm back where I started
But don't start with me I just wanna be free
I wanna feel the vibrations of the bass in my teeth
I wanna wake up in another state and play in some
Kid's living room or a dirty basement
And I can talk the talk but I can't walk the walk
I can talk the talk but I can't walk the walk
I can talk the talk all night long but I can't walk the walk when the morning comes

And I fear you don't love me anymore
The way you look at me now is not the way it used to be
And I feel like I'm disgusting and depraving
I'm in a new place but it still feels like i'm eighteen
Stuck in my car in a bad dream
These people I think they wanna kill me
And if you don't turn off that goddamn tune I'll never come back and always leave soon
But I won't cause I
Can talk the talk but I can't walk the walk and I
Can talk the talk but I can't walk the walk and I
Can talk the talk all night long
But I can't walk the walk when the morning comes
When the morning comes
And the morning always comes

Drive to the store and I just window shop
Got a few bills to pay and I'm just broke a lot
Can I spend a few weeks inside of me?
Or will I have to talk to breathe?
Will I have to talk to breathe?
Will I have to talk to breathe?
Will I have talk to breathe?
Will I have to talk to breathe?
