Chatter
What will it be?
The day you fly away
The day you're set free
What will be said?
When a date is set on the right side of the dash
When dreams can no longer be fed
Psst! Do you remember?
That time back in that cold December
Oh! What about that hot July?
That summer they stayed high
How could anyone forget that cool September night?
That time they lied and got into that big fight
I wonder if they were gay or straight?
Well, you know they said they didn't discriminate
Now, I know you can't forget the epic fail
That time they spent 730 days in jail
What about way back in '96?
That time when they played and turned tricks
(pause)
Wait! Wait! Wait! Let's cut all the chatter!
Because none of this stuff matters
But if we can be real?
It's truly about how they made us feel
And if there is nothing or something bad that we can feel
Then the least we should do is allow our lips to remain still
