Lets Talk

from The Solo Sessions by Joshua Putney

lyrics

She liked to talk ancient mythology
But her degree was in psychology
She can’t prescribe me drugs
But thats ok with me

These are the kinds of things you keep to yourself
Like when you think too much about killing yourself
It doesn’t add up to me, Im on the edge of my seat
Trying so hard, And I’ve got a sick gut feeling

But the cut throat villain that I was
When I met you is dead
Dead and gone
Even the remnants of his memory
Relinquished their throne and moved on

This is all
All that I could say
I wanted our love
To transcend this place
Retrace your steps
If you must give chase
If you don’t catch up
I promise to wait
If you run right past Please just glance my way

I held the past up to the flame

It's all as distant as we want it to be
How could the stars control our destiny?
I'm not convinced at all
At least not presently

Sometimes it feels so unattainable
I start to think that you're incapable
Then I realize our love is unmistakable
Just like a willow tree
So fascinating to me

And now the sweet little angel that I was
When I met you is tired,
All but moved on
Its all so hard I will admit
That its a struggle but I'm trying to hold on

This is all
All that I could say
I want our love
To transcend this place
Retrace your steps
If you must give chase
If you don’t catch up I promise to wait
If you run right past
Please just glance my way
One last time

I've tasted love and it is oh so sweet
But if you bite too hard you'll break all of your teeth
But we sucked it dry you see
That's how the pendulum swings

It all works out, I mean eventually
Don't ask me how it is I know these things
I trust my gut you see
And that's what it's telling me
I know where you belong
And it's right here with me

But the cut throat villain that I was
When I met you is dead
Dead and gone
Even the remnants of his memory
Relinquished their throne and moved on

She liked to talk ancient mythology
But her degree was in psychology
She can’t prescribe me drugs
But thats ok with me
