Little Talks
Of Monsters and MenThe song is about a relationship. It's about a couple and the husband passed away and it's from the conversation between the two of them. We don't know if she's going crazy or if someone's actually there. We've kind of been inspired by people that lived in my house. This old couple that lived there for 30 years. The woman passed away, so it was kind of different."
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to see you this way
Because though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over
And buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear
Because though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you'd disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon.
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
The screams all sound the same
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary this
Ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Play with the song, fill the gaps

To wait or spend time somewhere, usually for no particular reason:
I spent most of my youth hanging around the bars of Dublin.
When a door, floorboard, etc. creaks, it makes a long low sound when it moves or is moved:
Why do doors creak when opened slowly and not when opened quickly?
To not do something, often because of fear or because you do not want to make a bad situation worse:
