Small Talk

I still think about you in October
Yeah, it was this time last year you came over
Drove all the way to Pasadena
Just for some shitty frozen pizza
We fell in love on the sofa
Gettin' drunk, didn't care about hangovers
I'd do anything to make you happy
Thought you'd always love me

Used to stay up talkin' in the back of your car
Talkin' five year plans like we'd make it that far
Every good thing ends
We just don't know when
Used to drive past houses, pick the ones we would buy
Guess forever is a word that we romanticized
Every good thing ends
We just don't know when

Now all we have is small talk
How's the weather? Did your Mom call?
When are you gonna say that you can't stay
'Cause you gave in
Now all we have is small talk
I wonder where we got lost
Somewhere along the way
You changed the rules you were playing
But I'd rather have small talk
Than nothing at all

Is there anything I can do better?
Get things back to the way that they were when I met you
Wanna be all you ever wanted
Please don't say I'm not

Used to stay up talkin' in the back of your car
Talkin' five year plans like we'd make it that far
Every good thing ends
We just don't know when
Now we're strangers sleepin' in the same old bed
Yeah, you turn your back and I turn my head
Every good thing ends
We just don't know when

Now all we have is small talk
How's the weather? Did your Mom call?
When are you gonna say that you can't stay
'Cause you gave in
Now all we have is small talk
I wonder where we got lost
Somewhere along the way
You changed the rules you were playing

And I shouldn't have kept on my feelings from ruinin' the show
Now I'm on stage singing songs to your ghost
I love you, still strangers inside the same home
Holding on an empty hope
Sometimes I wonder if pain's all I know
'Cause I should be happy whenever you call
The longer I stay the harder the fall
And I should know better

But I'd rather have small talk
Than nothing at all
