Constant Conversations Lyrics

[Intro]
Uh huh
Bet you never leave
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Never
Uh huh
Bet you never, never leave
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Bet you never, no

[Verse 1]
Well you're wrapped up in a blanket
And you're staring at the floor
The conversation's moderated
By the noisy streets below
I never wanna hurt you, baby
I'm just a mess with a name and a price
And now I'm drunker than before they
Told me drinking doesn't make me nice


[Pre-Chorus]
You never know where some people will go
Yeah, some people been hurting me
You can tell by a look
By the slightest crook in the neck
Or the blink of an eye
Well then they'll say what they say
And they'll do what they do
But that doesn't mean a goddamn thing
You can listen if you want
You can listen if you don't

Yeah they'll talk, yeah they'll even sing
[Chorus]
Oh, everybody now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
They come singing through the window
Singing through the trees
Yeah, they're singing through the bright spring leaves
Everybody now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Yeah, they love you when they need you
But someday you're gonna need to find
Some other kind of place to go, oh

[Post-Chorus]
Bet you never leave
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Never
Uh huh
Bet you never, never leave
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh)
Bet you never, no

[Verse 2]
Now you're standing in the kitchen
And you're pouring out my drink
Well there's a very obvious difference
And it's that one of us can think
If there's a bump in the road, yeah you'd fix it
But for me, yeah I'll just run off the road
But tonight you've got me cornered
And I haven't got a place to go
[Pre-Chorus]
You never know where some people will go
Yeah, some people been hurting me
You can tell by a look
By the slightest crook in the neck
Or the blink of an eye
Well then they'll say what they say
And they'll do what they do
But that doesn't mean a goddamn thing
You can listen if you want
You can listen if you don't

Yeah they'll talk, yeah they'll even sing

[Chorus]
Oh, everybody now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
They come singing through the window
Singing through the trees
Yeah, they're singing through the bright spring leaves
Everybody now
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh (Sing it loud, sing it loud)
Yeah, they love you when they need you
But someday you're gonna need to find
Some other kind of place to go
Don't you know?
[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Don't wanna leave, you and me
Start talking 'bout other people
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

‘ Where we Belong, last track on the record it’s probably my… probably one of the best songs I’ve ever put on a record; I think musucaly it’s…it kinda sets the tone for the next record maybe a little bit. I’m very proud of it’
