[Verse 1] Your lips are moving, but I can't hear a thing Words disappear before they reach my ears You turn your shoulder, heading down the hall I catch a little sound, then I lose it all [Pre-Chorus] I say, "Slow down, tell me what you mean" You wave your hand like it's a silent movie scene [Chorus] La la la la la, la la la la You're talking, talking, but the meaning's gone La la la la la, la la la la Walking and mumbling, moving right along I lean in close, but you're already far I know you're saying something—just not what you are La la la la la, la la la la Turn around and say it where I can hear you, please [Verse 2] Your coffee's cooling on the kitchen chair You keep explaining to the empty air I follow two steps, then you change your pace A sentence fades behind your disappearing face [Pre-Chorus] I say, "Come back, give me one clear line" You point toward the doorway like the answer's there to find [Chorus] La la la la la, la la la la You're talking, talking, but the meaning's gone La la la la la, la la la la Walking and mumbling, moving right along I lean in close, but you're already far I know you're saying something—just not what you are La la la la la, la la la la Turn around and say it where I can hear you, please [Bridge] Stop by the stairs, count to three Face me when you're speaking to me No more mystery, no more blur One little sentence—I can work with that, sure [Final Chorus] La la la la la, la la la la Now you're talking and the meaning's on La la la la la, la la la la Standing right here, so I can sing along I lean in close, now I know where you are You finally said it, and it wasn't very hard La la la la la, la la la la Say it one more time so I can hear you, please [Outro] La la la la la, la la la la No more mumbling as you walk away La la la la la, la la la la Face me when you say what you want to say
