Adults Are Talking

Adults Are Talking lyrics

Verse 1

Your kitchen is full
of borrowed opinions
They pass me a cup
like I’m part of the scene

I nod at the sink
I nod at the ceiling
The pasta goes cold
while they sharpen their feelings

Pre-Chorus

And I’m up on the tile
with my glass and my grin
Everybody’s below me
and I’m not even in

Their words keep climbing
up the cracked wall
I catch one sentence
then lose it all

Chorus

Adults are talking
What are they saying?
Adults are talking
What are they saying?

Adults are talking
I keep on waiting
Adults are talking
What are they saying?

Verse 2

There’s basil in the air
and somebody’s laughing
A man at the doorway
keeps rephrasing his heartbreak

The ice in my cup
turns into a pebble
I’m watching her stare
through the back of my devil

She says my name
like it’s a test
I say “yeah, maybe”
and that passes best

Pre-Chorus

And I’m up on the tile
with my glass and my grin
Everybody’s above me
and I’m not even in

Their words keep climbing
up the cracked wall
I catch one sentence
then lose it all

Chorus

Adults are talking
What are they saying?
Adults are talking
What are they saying?

Adults are talking
I keep on waiting
Adults are talking
What are they saying?

Bridge

I thought I heard
my own name in the noise
But it came from the hall
or one of those toys

Somebody leaned in
like they knew my dream
Then the room went soft
and split at the seams

Chorus

Adults are talking
What are they saying?
Adults are talking
What are they saying?

Adults are talking
I keep on waiting
Adults are talking
What are they saying?

Outro

Say it again
I was almost there
Say it again
if you’re really in there
