Small Talk
Hana Lili
I like your sweater
What you doing now?
Yeah, I'm still living
In that part of town
Don't ask how I'm doing
'Cause trust me, you don't wanna know
Let's stay on the surface
Till it's time for me to go home
Till then though
You'll find me hiding in the small talk
Till I've bored everybody in the whole room
And then you'll find me talking 'bout the weather
And things that don't matter
For the whole night, through
It's easier to stay in the shallows 'cause I'd drown in the ocean
Then I'd lie awake in bed regretting every word that I've spoken
If I was honest, it's hard right now
And most days I'm scared of letting my parents down
Don't ask how I'm doing
'Cause trust me, you don't wanna know
Let's stay on the surface
Till it's time for me to go home
Till then though
You'll find me hiding in the small talk
Till I've bored everybody in the whole room
And then you'll find me talking bout the weather
And things that don't matter
For the whole night, through
It's easier to stay in the shallows 'cause I'd drown in the ocean
Then I'd lie awake in bed regretting every word that I've spoken
And if I drink too much I'm terrified I'll tear my heart open
And I'm running out of ways, running out of ways to keep my composure
You'll find me hiding in the small talk
Till I've bored everybody in the whole room
You'll find me talking bout the weather
And things that don't matter
For the whole night, through
It's easier to stay in the shallows 'cause I'd drown in the ocean
Then I'd lie awake in bed regretting every word that I've spoken
And if I drink too much I'm terrified I'll tear my heart open
And I'm running out of ways, running out of ways to keep my composure
