The Talk Lyrics
And so I'm back and I am stuck here in the same room
A thorough shuffle to the mail my first excuse
not to immediately face the day's agenda
Some very awkward words I need be telling you
of a feeling that in motion through I've carried
for it to be worn off upon return
that grew inside me like a credit taken
in a currency I could no longer earn
No better way,
no other time,
no other call,
no better line,
as soon as now, within your room
it can't go on
I'm not in love with you
My mouth has got a funny taste of metal,
a pencil line's been drawn upon my face
Weight has come to hang around my shoulders
for the knowledge of a doubt I can't erase
Hey boy you never finish what you've started
says the man I wanna be who I am not
who will sacrifice his part as easy lover
to never be the one who holds and drops
A thorough shuffle to the mail my first excuse
not to immediately face the day's agenda
Some very awkward words I need be telling you
for it to be worn off upon return
that grew inside me like a credit taken
in a currency I could no longer earn
no other time,
no other call,
no better line,
as soon as now, within your room
it can't go on
I'm not in love with you
a pencil line's been drawn upon my face
Weight has come to hang around my shoulders
for the knowledge of a doubt I can't erase
says the man I wanna be who I am not
who will sacrifice his part as easy lover
to never be the one who holds and drops

It is very clear what this song is about.. the singer wants to break up with someone he is no longer inlove with, or maybe never was. But it is never fun to break up with someone it at times it hurts just as much as being dumped. It's just very hard, but you got to do what you got to do..
