Story Behind The Song

Communication in relationships between Introverted songwriters and their extroverted partners Difficulty of being in an "Aspergers" relationship

Lyrics

You know I'm not really a talker - M'lady I can't say the same
She's a real need for conversation Or the silence just drives her insane
Some people find people easy.They can pour their hearts out on their sleeves. When you talk and I stare and you think I don't care
I'm just choosing my words carefully.....
Refrain
You say can we t talk about it ..but my song is me tryin instead
I thought you knew what you were getting in to And the voices that sing in this head

When I was a young kid we'd lay in the grass For hours list'ning to the birds sing. Then the builders moved in and stole our green fields
And the strangers who ruined every thing
It's not like I can't talk to strangers I just choose my friends carefully
There's a line in that sand you never should cross
The lines never where it should be ....

You say can we t talk about it ..but the words run for cover instead
I thought you knew what you were getting in to
And the voices that sing in this head

U know that Im no big talker And I'm no smalltaker for sure
But there's not a problem where talkin won't help
But listening I hear is the cure
Ok so let's talk about it . Let's not leave the hard truth unsaid
I'd rather have an awkward silence than an awkward conversation instead
And the voices that sing in this head....
