Talking to the Air

from The Next Stage by Englewood

/

lyrics

I learned your language though it’s not my own,
feel like a three-year old talking on the telephone,
and I talk to you and you give me a blank stare.
I’m just talking to the air.

I know what I’m saying in my head,
but when I open my mouth it isn’t what I said,
and then you get all mad and you give me that French stare. I’m just talking to the air.

Do you see me at this counter, am I just another face?
Do you even register I’m taking up this space.
Could you meet me halfway. I’m here – it’s not just air.

Do you see me at this check-out, am I just another face?
Do you even register I’m taking up this space?
Could you meet me halfway. I’m here – it’s not just air.

I don’t always have the words that I want
to get across to you the thing that I thought,
but won’t you give me a break and believe that I care.
I’m not talking to the air.

Do you see me at this table? Am I just another face?.
I want you to register I’m taking up this space.
Please meet me halfway. I’m here, it’s not just air.
’m not talking to the air. Stop talking to the air.
