What to Say lyrics

When I wake up I'm speaking slow
When I get drunk I'm speaking more
Get too drunk and I don't speak at all
Get too close to you and I don't know what to say

The only time I make sense is when I'm talking in my sleep
But there's nobody around to write it down
So it gets lost on my books and pillows

The only time you made sense was when I was talking too
But we had to take turns, one at a time
And when it comes to mine I have no idea

What to say
When I'm talking to you
What to say
When I'm standing there talking to you

Words that don't relate to one another flowing off our tongues
Fragments, fleeting thoughts get strung together one by one by one
Things we can't relay to one another smoke goes in my lungs
I get more from a look than from people when they've spoke or yelled or sung

People talk
People talk
People talk
But they don't know what to say
