You told me today what I should have known then Now that I know, will you leave me again? I've been travelling around to make time go away But something just lingers, something just stays And everyone's talking these days Like there's something to prove Though there's nothing to say Everyone's talking but you 'Cause your words don't come cheap And your thoughts are of use Remember the time when you & John left the room You skied on the lake in the light of the moon Nobody knew until John passed away But you saw he was sick and you lit up his face And everyone's wondering these days If life is a loan And if love is for sale Everone's wondering but you 'Cause you rip off the tags And you don't care if it's new And you don't mind the price Or the market value So baby come over, 'cause this time I'm sure Bet you'll laugh at my jokes like you used to before I've been trying to stop thinking, but man, it's been hard If we lower the stakes I might let down my guard And everyone's talking these days On how life should be led And how love should be made Now, let's leave the talking alone Fall asleep in my arms I'll be watching the door And everyone's talking these days So let us be quiet And let us be safe Let's leave the talking alone Fall asleep in my arms I'll be watching the door And I won't be running away anymor
