I've always been a quiet case
Gave too much time and too much space
A shoulder-cold, side-pillowcase
But I still slept alright
Yeah, I'd look down on looser lips
While rooms were full of sinking ships
My disposition you eclipsed
When you asked for a light

And you kept on your purple shades
And you passed me some pink champagne
And words I didn't know I'd say
Came pouring out like April rain

Now I can't
I can't stop
I can't stop talking
I can't stop talking to you

I feel my tongue untying
You make my thoughts go flying
I'll break my vow of silence
I feel my heart in my throat
Strike up conversations like they're matches
I know I need a little practice
Words like the money in my mattress
So even if I'm blowing smoke
If talk's cheap, I wanna die broke
If talk's cheap, I wanna die broke

I'll show you every flaw in me
I'll tell you about all of me
The things nobody saw in me
That I kept in the dark
All my complicated views
The color of my childhood room
Yeah, I'd hold back, but what's the use?
'Cause baby, once I start

I can't
I can't stop
I can't stop talking
I can't stop talking to you

I feel my tongue untying
You make my thoughts go flying
I'll break my vow of silence
I feel my heart in my throat
Strike up conversations like they're matches
I know I need a little practice
Words like the money in my mattress
So even if I'm blowing smoke
If talk's cheap, I wanna die broke

I can't stop talking to you
I can't stop, I can't stop talking, I can't stop talking to you
I can't stop talking to you
I can't, I can't stop, I can't stop talking, I can't stop talking

I feel my tongue untying
You make my thoughts go flying
I'll break my vow of silence
I feel my heart in my throat
Strike up conversations like they're matches
I know I need a little practice
Words like the money in my mattress
So even if I'm blowing smoke
If talk's cheap, I wanna die broke
