[Verse 1]

Driving up the mountain

Ears popping as we climb

It can be risky after sundown

When the roads turn serpentine

We run out of conversation

Day runs out of light

Silent, watching high beams

Interrupt the night

Oooh

Oooh

[Chorus]

Why can't we talk anymore?

We used to talk for hours

Do I make you nervous or bored?

Or did I drink you to the last drop?

[Verse 2]

Your body looming like a spectre

Hungry as a scythe

If you come reaping, I'll come running

I still know what you like

But just like they say

That you can never go home

I could not love you the same way

Two days in a row

Oooh

Oooh

[Chorus]

Why can't we talk anymore?

We usеd to talk for hours

Do I make you nervous or bored?

Or did I drink you to thе last drop?

[Bridge]

Why was our best sex in hotels

And our worst fights

In their stairwells?

I was by your side, eye to eye

When you thought you were

Living in a private hell

[Outro]

I didn't mean to start

Talking in the past tense

I guess I don't know what I think

'Til I start talking
