The title doesn't really fit the song. My guess is that Ben did this on purpose. He's drawing a picture of the big things, and how you can walk forever with someone and talk about nothing but little things, and you might as well be not saying anything. "we talked and never spoke a word"...that's kinda what I surmised.
If that's true, then maybe it's like prison food. It will keep you alive, but it's nothing meaty..it's poop on a stick. Small talk is like that...it can keep people talking...but it's not meaty like the big things?
I dunno I just thought of that as I went. It could work.
