Cover art for You Talk Way Too Much lyrics by Strokes, The

Much like some other songs on this CD, this one is about splitting up. It's over and they're both saying the things that everyone says "You're not supposed to say that... you taught me too much." He's accepting responsibility for things going wrong, he thinks he can deal with it, he just needs some time. They keep talking, he feels confused "we don't get the news", he doesn't know when he'll get over it. They're struggling to maintain a friendship and 'they just need a little time', but the talking doesn't get them anywhere and eventually they stop talking.
