If You Could Talk

Tell me

Are you not alright?

All you do is cry

Ever since I left

I'm sorry

I hate it when I work

I swear the Heavens and the Earth stand still

For you

So this is hello from Detroit

Soon I'm heading to Boston

All this is to you is noise

I don't even see you that often

Ooh

Ooh

Sorry

I gotta pay the bills

Keepin' lights on, makin' meals

Just to make it through

You tell me

You hate that damn suitcase

Why can't you ever stay in place?

Feels like you're running away

So this is hello from home

Isn't this what you wanted?

I guess I'll see you over the phone

I don't even see you that often

Ooh

Ooh

If you could talk would you say

"Thank you for all of my problems"

Feels like they're never goin' away

Lookin' forward to when you're calling

Another hello from Detroit

Soon you're headed to Boston

All this is to me is noise

You don't even see me that often

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Ooh

Mm
