Tell me more about where you grew up
Do you think your folks are still in love?
What's the furthest distance you could run
If a bear was chasing you?
Tell me all about your thoughts on God
Do you think He's there or do you not?
Anything to keep the focus off of me
You should talk forever
'Cause the less I say, the better
I remember just last year
Spilled my hopes and fears
Then, he slammed that door
Didn't keep my thoughts inside
And it left me crying on the bathroom floor
I don't think I'm interesting enough
To keep this up, to keep your love
If I end my word count here, and I don't say more
Then, you can't get bored
You don't wanna know about my day
It was pretty boring, anyway
I don't even know what I would say
So, anyway
If you were alone and out at sea
And there were only three things you could bring
Would bring a book? Would you bring me?
Hmm-mm
I remember just last year
Spilled my hopes and fears
Then, he slammed that door
Didn't keep my thoughts inside
And it left me crying on the bathroom floor
I don't think I'm interesting enough
To keep this up, to keep your love
If I end my word count here, and I don't say more
Then, you can't get bored
I just wanna make myself believe
You won't get bored, you won't get bored
But it would be a waste of energy
To tell you more if you get bored
So, keep the conversation off of me
You won't get bored, you won't get bored
(If I end my word count here, and I don't say more
(Then you can't get bored)
You should talk forever
'Cause the less I say, the better
