about

The real connections are the ones we make for ourselves. What does it mean to be human?

lyrics

Talk to me, won't you talk to me?
Won't you tell me about your life?
Talk to me, won't you talk to me?
About your troubles, your worries, and strife.
We have a little while still in this taxi, just you and I
So talk to me, won't you talk to me?
Won't you tell me about your life?

She said "I'm sorry I never made it out of Manchester."
And I said "That's okay. I'm sure you're fine as you are."
And she said "This seems like a storm that I cannot weather, oh no."
And I said "Well, we're in New England. Bad storms are who we are!"

And she laughed.
And then I said:

Talk to me, won't you talk to me?
Won't you tell me about your life?
Talk to me, won't you talk to me?
About your troubles, your worries, and strife.
We have a little while still in this taxi, just you and I
So talk to me, won't you talk to me?
Won't you tell me about your life?

She said "I've never even seen a 3D movie!"
She said "I've never been to England, or to France."
She said "I really don't regret never having children, oh no."
"Though I wish someone had taught me how to dance!"

And I laughed this time.
And then she didn't say anything.

*whistling*

I told her "I don't want to be a taxi driver."
I told her "I have aspirations much higher than that!" Yeah.
Then I pulled into her stop at 14th and Brevard, oh no.
And she got out to go and I said "Thanks for the chat" Oh.

And I never saw her again to tell her I feel better
I didn't stay a driver for very long, yeah.
And I'll never know if she got out of Manchester.
But at the very least I wrote her this song, oh.

At the very least, we talked. But not for too long.
