Small Talk Lyrics

I used to rush you off the phone 

I was always racing 

Between somewhere and home 

Whatever I was chasing

With the stereo blasting

I couldn't hear my heart aching 

But now it's four am

The desert is still and

I'd kill for five minutes of your small talk

I went to all those parties on the hill 

Full of great expectation

There were waterfalls of alcohol

And clever conversations 

But I was staring into space 

Please believe me when I say

When it was four am

And the city was still

I would kill for five minutes of your small talk

Did the storms in August 

Make the creek overflow?

Did the iris in the garden 

Ever start to show? 

Did Rainey have her baby?

Is it a boy or a girl?

It's in between the words you say 

That love has always found a way

It's four am

The desert is still and

I'd kill for five minutes of your small talk
