Talk About It
Unspoken Past: Forbidden Conversations
Lyrics
When you walked in I thought I recognized you
Upon seeing you, there was a sense of familiarity
With my best friend couldn't believe my eyes
Surprised to witness you with my best friend
Boy it has been a long, long time
A significant amount of time has passed
Since that night down in New Orleans
Referring to a past encounter in New Orleans
And now I'm hoping she doesn't see
Hoping my friend remains unaware of our history
Between you and me we've got history
We share a history that's between us
I can see the words, remember when
Recalling shared memories and experiences
About to come a-rollin' off your lips
Anticipating words related to the past
But maybe, we just shouldn't talk about it, baby
Suggesting it might be better not to discuss it
Even if it drives you crazy
Despite potential discomfort, avoiding the topic
Like the way you're looking at me
Expressing discomfort with the way you're observing
Is driving me right now
The observed gaze is currently affecting me
'Cause in this small town
Referencing the challenges of living in a small town
Word just gets around
Highlighting the prevalence of gossip in a small community
It's one wrong move and the secrets out
Emphasizing the risk of secrets being exposed
So baby, we just shouldn't talk about it
Reiterating the idea of avoiding the sensitive topic
Well now she's telling me about how y'all met
Sharing how your friend recounts your meeting
But I haven't heard a word she said
Unable to focus on her words due to personal thoughts
Too busy tryna get your memory out of my head
Trying to erase memories of you from my mind
You're looking like you might wanna come clean
Sensing a desire to confess but advising against it
But that ain't for the best, boy, believe me
Asserting that confessing may not lead to positive outcomes
'Cause really, we just shouldn't talk about it, baby
Reiterating the suggestion to avoid discussing it
Even if it drives you crazy
Despite potential discomfort, avoiding the topic
Like the way you're looking at me
Expressing discomfort with the way you're observing
Is driving me right now
The observed gaze is currently affecting me
'Cause in this small town
Referencing the challenges of living in a small town
Word just gets around
Highlighting the prevalence of gossip in a small community
It's one wrong move and the secrets out
Emphasizing the risk of secrets being exposed
So baby, we just shouldn't talk about
Reiterating the idea of avoiding the sensitive topic
Those moments that we shared
Recalling intimate moments shared together
My fingertips through your long, blonde hair
Describing the tactile experience of running fingers through hair
The way I looked in your white T-shirt
Remembering the way you looked in a specific context
If you wanna keep loving her
Suggesting that discussing such memories is unwise
We should never, ever talk about it, baby
Reiterating the caution against talking about the past
Even if it drives you crazy
Despite potential discomfort, avoiding the topic
Like the way you're looking at me
Expressing discomfort with the way you're observing
Is driving me right now
The observed gaze is currently affecting me
'Cause in this small town
Referencing the challenges of living in a small town
Word just gets around
Highlighting the prevalence of gossip in a small community
It's one wrong move and the secrets out
Emphasizing the risk of secrets being exposed
So baby, we just shouldn't
Reiterating the idea of avoiding the sensitive topic
No, we really shouldn't
Stating a clear decision not to talk about it
No, we just shouldn't talk about it
Emphasizing the resolution to avoid discussing the past
