Speaking Terms lyrics
I used to kneel beside my bed at night when I was small
It was easy as breathing, believing wasn't hard at all
I knew that you were there close as my next prayer
The world will break you down, break your heart
And shake your faith but now you feel so far away
I don't know who's to blame
I don't talk to you as much, maybe that's part of growing up.

I carry on this one way conversation
I'm listening but you don't say a word
If your answer's in the silence, I'll be patient
But it's hard to know my prayers are being heard
I'm waiting on a whisper, just something to confirm that
You and me are still on speaking terms.

I mostly come around now when things aren't working out
I show up with my questions, my stumbles, and my doubts
Always thinking of myself, and always asking you for help.

So I carry on this one way conversation
I'm listening but you don't say a word
If your answer's in the silence, I'll be patient
But it's hard to know my prayers are being heard
I'm waiting on a whisper, just something to confirm that
You and me are still on speaking terms.

Even though I know you're more than I deserve
I want to get back to how we were.

So I carry on this one way conversation
I'm listening but you don't say a word
If your answer's in the silence, I'll be patient
But it's hard to know my prayers are being heard
I'm waiting on a whisper, just something to confirm that
You and me are still on speaking terms
Yeah, that you and me are still on speaking terms.
