"If You Could Talk" lyrics

Tell me, are you not alright?
All you do is cry ever since I left
I'm sorry, I hate it when I work
I swear, the Heavens and the Earth stand still for you

So this is hello from Detroit
Soon, I'm headed to Boston
All this is, to you, is noise
I don't even see you that often

Ooh
Ooh

Sorry, I gotta pay the bills
Keepin' lights on, makin' meals just to make it through
You tell me you hate that damn suitcase
Why can't you ever stay in place? Feels like you're running away

So this is hello from home
Isn't this what you wanted?
I guess I'll see you over the phone
I don't even see you that often

Ooh
Ooh

If you could talk, would you say, "Thank you for all of my problems"?
Feels like they're never goin' away, lookin' forward to when you're calling

Another hello from Detroit
Soon, you're headed to Boston
All this is, to me, is noise
You don't even see me that often

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Mmm
