Oh there you go again

Leaning against the wall

The clock strikes 2pm

As long as I shut my mouth

There’s no breathing between us

So hopeless, this distance

 

One day you’ll know what this is all about

Just step back to remember

 

I know what you'll say after you say hello

Do you think silence is golden?

I know what you'll say after you say hello

Do you think silence is golden?

 

Shallow conversations around us sound so constructive here

Where did you get the idea?

The words I speak are getting nowhere

You bite your tongue and I bite my lips

I hate this time so I need a drink

 

One day you’ll know what this is all about

Just step back to remember

 

I know what you'll say after you say hello

Do you think silence is golden?

I know what you'll say after you say hello

Do you think silence is golden?

 

Upon your request I sing back

But you seem to have lost the knack

Of starting a conversation

You always wait for my turn to talk

But I won’t return the favor

Even though you done me good

You never break the ice

 

I know what you'll say after you say hello

Do you think silence is golden?

I know what you'll say after you say hello

Do you think silence is golden?

I know what you'll say after you say hello

Do you think silence is golden?

I know what you'll say after you say hello

Do you think silence is golden?

 

(Please someone tell me

Does time make us end up like this?

Please someone tell me

Does time make us end up like this?)

 

Oh here I go again

Pretending not to know the last six years
