You Say I Say Lyrics

You say, you are standing alone in the middle of a vast emptiness

That stretches as far as you can see, there are no signs of life

Only a grainy blue sea that moves around you

Like some kind of drunken ocean around you but not me

The word you used, I believe was desolate

I say, you are in a waiting room full of people

Your mother is talking to the woman at the desk

And on the bench under the clock is an Italian family

They all have brown eyes, they are looking at us

You say, you are standing alone in a barren landscape

You have scanned the blue emptiness countless times

And found nothing, you have raised your voice to the ceiling

Of the vast expanse and it has held no recognition

I say, you are in a waiting room full of people

And I am holding your right hand

We are all watching the woman at the desk

Her shoes sigh as she moves about

It is exactly 3:10 in the morning

You say, you are standing alone.

What is this loneliness that you feel?

What is this loneliness that you cannot seem to shake?

You say, you are standing alone in the blue tinge of an unfixed photo

And the only voices you hear are grainy and urgent

And grate across your soul in a series of moving lines like sandbars

You have stopped calling out because you called out

And your voice never came back

And I say, you are in a waiting room full of people

We are all looking at the clock and now the woman at the desk

Is speaking to your mother, the Italian family is looking at you

I go to the window and look out at the darkness
