You know and I know, we lost the lotto'

It's like our love cut the line in two

We're on different sides though, lost in the echo

Our lips are moving, they're makin' words

Words turn to riddles, we make it worse

'Cause I'm not listening, and you're not listening, no

We try to fix it, it never works

We go, breaking up like cell phones

When I speak, 'cause you don't listen when I talk

Dial tone, nothing but that high note

When you speak 'cause I don't listen when you talk

Ooh, yeah, don't think we'll ever get better, better

Gets worse with every letter, letter

Dial tone, nothing but that high note

On repeat 'cause we don't listen when we talk

If we could speak like we're trying to

Share conversation, communication

I'm hearing me and you're hearing you

On different islands, just sounds of silence

Our lips are moving, they're makin' words (oh)

Words turn to riddles, we make it worse (oh)

'Cause I'm not listening,

(not listening) and you're not listening, (you're not listening) no

We try to fix it, it never works (hey!)

We go, breaking up like cell phones

When I speak, 'cause you don't listen when I talk

Dial tone, nothing but that high note

When you speak 'cause I don't listen when you talk

Ooh, yeah, don't think we'll ever get better, better

Gets worse with every letter, letter

Dial tone, nothing but that high note

On repeat 'cause we don't listen when we talk

Our lips are moving, they're making words (they're making words)

Words turn to riddles, we make it worse

'Cause I'm not listening,

(you're not listening) and you're not listening, no

We try to fix it, it never works (oh)

We go, breaking up like cell phones

When I speak, 'cause you don't listen when I talk

Dial tone, nothing but that high note

When you speak 'cause I don't listen when you talk

Listen when you talk, yeah

Ooh, yeah, don't think we'll ever get better, better

(don't think we'll ever get better, yeah)

Gets worse with every letter, letter (worse with every letter)

Dial tone, nothing but that high note (nothing but that high note)

On repeat 'cause we don't listen

when we talk (don't listen when we talk)

Talk
