Small Talk Lyrics – Cat Burns

Small Talk Lyrics

It’s been a few weeks
I thought I’d reach out
I hope this message finds you well
And you’re doing alright

I kinda miss you
No. That’s a lie
I miss you so much that it hurts
And I cry every night

It’s in mornings
That’s when I remember
That you’re gone
You won’t be calling my phone ever

So, I go on a walk
I talk to myself
I might seem crazy but it’s the only thing that helps

Everything is changing
Why do we have to speak like strangers?

I can’t do small talk with you
‘Cause every time that I do
All I want to say is something really big
Like “Don’t you wanna come home?
I hate being alone.”
All our conversations leave me wanting more
‘Cause we’ll always be too big
Yeah we’ll always be too big
For small talk

You sound so formal
So far removed
From the lazy ways we spent our afternoons

But what can I expect
‘Cause we’re not together
So, now all we talk about is work and weather

It’s so serious
God I hate this
Why are you acting like you haven’t seen me naked?

All our history
Just forgotten
Now I understand what it means to be heartbroken

Everything is changing
We do we have to speak like strangers?

I can’t do small talk with you
‘Cause every time that I do
All I want to say is something really big
Like “Don’t you wanna come home?
I hate being alone.”
All our conversations leave me wanting more
‘Cause we’ll always be too big
Yeah we’ll always be too big
For small talk
