"To Talk About" lyrics

"To Talk About"

I am lazy
I only want to talk about love
I know there is so much that I should try and say
But we lay in bed, and leave it unsaid
I'm tired of working all night long
Trying to fit this world into a song

I am lazy
I only want to talk about love
What good are words if not
To try and to get across
The river that ascends me
Every time we touch
And obliterate all the distance
I get so tired of

I am lazy
I only want to talk about you
I spend all day with people
Who don't think the way you do
When I'm tired of unraveling
All their endless kinds of truth
Oh, I only want to talk about you

I am tired
I only want to lie beside
My lover tonight
When there is too much midnight to ever express
To listen to his breath
And to lay again my head on his chest

I am lazy
I only want to talk about love
Sometimes it feels like the only thing anybody wants me to speak of
Nobody wants to drag themselves
Through the endless ruins of
All there is in this world that is not love
