[English]
This is the letter that II didn't write
Looking for color in the
Black and white
Skyscrapers we created
On shaky ground
And I'm trying to find my patience
But you won't let me breathe
And I'm not ever right
All we are is talking
Over each other
There's nothing underneath
It's all a waste of time
All we are is talking
Over each other
(Over each other)
Over each other
Reaching for satellites
But all along
Under your breath you're saying
That I was wrong
Oh
The skyscrapers we created
Are coming down
And free falling to the pavement
'Cause you won't let me breathe
And I'm not ever right
All we are is talking
Over each other
(Over each other)
There's nothing underneath
It's all a waste of time
All we are is talking
Over each other
Oh, are we over each other?
Oh, are we over each other?
Oh
I can't go to sleep
I lie awake at night
I'm so tired of talking
Over each other
(Over each other)
So say what's underneath
I want to see your side
We don't have to be talking
Over each other
(Over each other)
Over each other
Over each other
Over each other
Over each other
You got it
That's the one
Are you recording this?
Get your screaming pants on
