This song is about the way that meeting new people can be exhausting. Sometimes you just want to cling to what is familiar.

lyrics

I was going to calm you down
Never had a real clue how
You got into your car and drowned
No one saw but me
Hands were tied behind your back
You were bracing for another attack
I was on your bed right to the last day

I'm so tired of the small talk
That turns into vapor
So tired of the meetings that
Are better on paper
And on and on and on it goes
And on and on I want to know why
With you it was effortless
Straight to the center
Yeah you had a way with me
Pulled me in deeper
And on and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes

We were in NYC
You were staying close to me
Shadows on a sunny day
You were miles away
I was singing in that bar
It was Irish and so full of charm
You were in the back and struggling so hard
And I was on stage

I'm so tired of the small talk
That turns into vapor
So tired of the meetings that
Are better on paper
And on and on and on it goes
And on and on I want to know why
With you it was effortless
Straight to the center
Yeah you had a way with me
Pulled me in deeper
And on and on and on it goes
And on and on and on it goes

I'm sorry for hurting you
I wonder how you're doing now
I know that it would make it worse
If I called and told you all about
How it's been in Nashville
You could catch me up on New York
I wrote another song about you
I don't think you listen to them anymore

I'm so tired of the small talk
That turns into vapor
I'm tired of better on paper
And on and on and on it goes
And on and on I want to know why
With you it was effortless
Straight to the center
Yeah you had a way with me
Pulled me in deeper
And on and on and on it goes
And on and on and on
