Pleasantries

Yeah, I know how this goes already You'll call me up and I'll say I'm busy Then later I'll show up when I'm feeling lonely But we'll just argue about each others' favorite movies 'Cause you hate romance and I don't care for action I never told you anything But I would if I thought you'd listen You never tell me anything But somehow I'm still here I want to be honest 'Cause I can't tell what you're thinking And there's so much that I need you to know I'm sick of the surface And all these pointless conversations Can we let the pleasantries go? Yeah, I know how this goes already I'm fired up and my mood is heavy I'm ready to dig up seven years of history But you'd rather tell the waiter all your funny stories So I just shut down, and we keep moving backwards I never told you anything But I would if I knew you'd listen You never tell me anything But somehow I'm still here I want to be honest 'Cause I can't tell what you're thinking And there's so much that I need you to know I'm sick of the surface And all these pointless conversations Can we let the pleasantries go? You wouldn't believe the people I've met Talked all night in eight cities We've got no secrets left I want less of this and more of that Reciprocity and total respect I want to be honest 'Cause I can't tell what you're thinking And there's so much that I need you to know I'm sick of the surface And all these pointless conversations Can we let the pleasantries go? I want to be honest 'Cause I can't tell what you're thinking And there's so much that I need you to know I'm sick of the surface And all these pointless conversations Can we let the pleasantries go?
