[refrain]
mind the gap, the gap
mind the gap, the gap
mind the gap, the gap
mind the gap, the gap

mind the gap, the gap
mind the gap, the gap…

[verse 1]
so i’m standing in a bullet sparking down a greasy gun
and i’m rubbing people’s shoulders, but i’m miles from everyone
and we’re hugging without touching, accepting by refusing
and that sound of awkward silence isn’t awkward if it’s soothing

to the grumpy, grey old grandma who saw the first king kong
is she at peace, or p-ssed off with the damp, mocked her joints for way too long?
looking at your eyelids – if they’re open, it’s a danger
oh my god, i’m sharing perfect eye-to-eye time with a stranger

[verse 2]
one who will forget me like the stars forgot the day
i guess we always were the crosses on a graph anyway
if our eyes do share a tiny part of time together
it is spent planning how we’ll look away from one another

a man with awful gl-sses wonders where it is she goes
as he spies a woman sleeping that he doesn’t even know
and the wrinkles on the faces of the people that i see
in this clickety-clackety bullet make sense to me

[chorus]
we just want to talk, but we are way too scared
we just want to talk, but there’s silence here instead
we just want to talk, you can never talk enough
but we can’t even talk no more, so how we s’posed to love?

[verse 3]
she sits and she examines with a screwed up expression
should’ve checked it in the shop, and now she’ll never learn her lesson
thinks she got short-changed, so she checks her receipt
but i can see her £1.20 by her feet

but can i tell her, can i? no, ’cause that was force us to connect
and that makes me a weirdo with a screw loose in my head
and our hearts are always close to everything that they can get
because it’s better to be safely sorry, everything’s a threat

[verse 4]
this man is busy munching and he’s loving every bite
spending time with some doritos before he meets his wife
and i can stare at you forever, i could help you with a word
but pretend you cannot see me, it’ll never get heard

practising a speech to himself once again
over and over, ’til she smiles in his head and says
“okay dad, i know that you gotta work late
and i’m not gonna cry if you miss my play”

[chorus]
we just want to talk, but we are way too scared
we just want to talk, but there’s silence here instead
we just want to talk, you can never talk enough
but we can’t even talk no more, so how we s’posed to love?

[verse 5]
i can see myself in all of you and all of you in me
but a frightened little planet, most of all, is what i see
the best friend you never made could be one foot away
and end up anonymous because you never tried to say ‘hey’

look at that, it’s a lady with a pram
i’m not gonna help her, but i do give a d-mn
it’s just that if i offer to, she might go crazy
and think i think she’s weak ’cause she’s a lady with a baby

[verse 6]
i really don’t think anyone knows anymore
when to talk and so we don’t becaus we’re just not sure
and this is why people kinda just wanna be alone
and they start little groups that just grow and just grow

and they think one thing, and it keeps them safe
until another group of people have something else to say
and both groups don’t even know what they believe anymore
they just know who they hate, and so they start themselves a war…

[refrain] x11

[outro]
we just want to talk, but we are way too scared
we just want to talk, but there’s silence here instead
we just want to talk, you can never talk enough
but we can’t even talk no more, so how we s’posed to…

how we s’posed to love?
