Lyrics
I can see it in your face
The speaker observes emotions or thoughts reflected in the listener's facial expression.
I can see it in your eyes
Similar to line 1, the speaker perceives emotions or truth in the listener's eyes.
You weren't laughing
The listener hasn't been genuinely happy for an extended period.
For a long long time
The absence of laughter or joy has been persistent for a significant duration.
This isn't you babe
The current behavior doesn't align with the listener's usual self or character.
This isn't you
Reiteration that the current behavior doesn't match the listener's typical demeanor.
I tried to tell you
The speaker attempted to communicate this observation to the listener.
But you've never listened to me
The listener historically doesn't heed the speaker's advice or opinions.
You never listen to me
Reinforcement that the listener habitually disregards the speaker's input or concerns.
Please talk to me
A plea for the listener to engage in a conversation.
Oh baby talk to me
An emotional request for the listener to communicate.
I wanna talk to you
The speaker desires a dialogue with the listener.
But you refuse to
Recognition that the listener is resistant to engaging in conversation.
So tell me why now
Seeking an explanation for the current behavior or emotional state.
Why won't you be
Questioning why the listener is unwilling to open up.
Ready, ready, ready, to talk to me
Expressing a desire for the listener to become willing and open to dialogue.
Oh baby talk to me now
Repeated plea for the listener to communicate.
Oh baby talk to me now
-Oh baby talk to me now
-Oh baby talk to me
A continuation of the request for conversation.
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh
Repetitive sounds possibly indicating frustration or urgency for communication.
Hey oh, ah ah ah ah ah
-Uh uh uh, uh uh uh
-Hey oh, ah ah ah ah ah
-You used to be
Recollection of the listener's past self, different from the current demeanor.
A different person
The listener used to confide everything in the speaker.
You used to tell me
Highlighting the shift in the listener's behavior regarding disclosure.
Everything
The listener previously shared all details with the speaker.
But now you've changed
Noticing a substantial change in the listener.
Something's changed
Recognition that something significant has altered within the listener.
I think anything except me
The listener seems open to sharing everything except with the speaker.
Oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh, oh oh oh
Repetitive vocalization, perhaps indicating frustration or desperation for communication.
Please talk to me
Repeated pleas for dialogue and understanding.
Oh baby talk to me
-I wanna talk to you
-But you refuse to
-So tell me why now
-Why won't you be
-Ready, ready, to talk to me
-Please talk to me
-Oh baby talk to me
-I wanna talk to you
-But you refuse to
-So tell me why now
-Why won't you be
-Ready, ready, to talk to me
-Oh baby talk to me now
Continued appeal for conversation.
Oh baby talk to me now
-Oh baby talk to me now
-Oh baby talk to me
Reiteration of the desire for communication.
Uh uh uh, uh uh uh
Repetitive sounds conveying urgency or frustration for dialogue.
Hey oh, ah ah ah ah ah
-Uh uh uh, uh uh uh
-Hey oh, ah ah ah ah ah
