[verse 1]
You think you're undercover
But you're livin' a glass box
You think that i won't know it
You're holding his hand, people talk
And unforgettable impression
Opened up his heart and mine was lost
And like dust on the shelf of a good second choice
I'm in the right distraction to block out the noise
Sick of holding your hand, i'm still waiting around
Got used to the sound of me hitting the ground
[chorus]
Now i'm talking to walls at a party
I'm talking to walls instead of you
And i think you know that i get lonely
And cling to a stranger to fill those shoes
I'm talking to walls that don't know me
I'm talking to walls that block my view
From all of the things that you taught me
And everything that i wish i knew, ooh
[verse 2]
She feels like a movie
How she floats through your dreams
And my tears are like rain falling out from me
I wasn't made for that scene
I listen to my intuition
And all that's goldly
[chorus]
Now i'm talking to walls at a party
I'm talking to walls instead of you
And i think you know that i get lonely
And cling to a stranger to fill those shoes
I'm talking to walls that don't know me
I'm talking to walls that block my view
From all of the things that you taught me
And everything that i wish i knew, ooh
[bridge]
Did i play my cards right?
Did i read the signs wrong?
Or would you stay the same if i said i moved on?
Am i making it up?
Have i finally gone mad?
Or would you say that i'm the best you've ever had?
Are you missing me now that i've kept you at bay?
Our story's over 'cause you turned the page
There's no alternate ending
I don't think you've changed
It still feels like—
[chorus]
I'm talking to walls at a party
I'm talking to walls instead of you
And i know you know that i get lonely (know you know that i get lonely)
And cling to a stranger to fill those shoes
I'm talking to walls that don't know me
But they might know me better than you
And thanks for the things that you taught me
So many things i wish i never knew
[outro]
Talking to walls feels like talking to you
