We used to talk
Enough to fill an ocean
Full of sailors who were going
To some undiscovered place

And we talked
About a storm that's growing
But we'd survive it knowing
We'd keep each other safe

Like the waves
That wash away
The footprints on the shore
We used to talk a lot
But we don't talk much anymore

We used to talk
Enough to fill a million books
With page after page
With inspirational thoughts

And we talked
About all the scenarios
Where we could be the heroes
Adventuring evil plots

It's what we don't expect
And what we choose to ignore
We used to talk a lot
But we don't talk much anymore

How long
Can these conversations go wrong
Before the inspiration is gone

Even Atlantis sunk onto the ocean floor
We used to talk a lot
But we don't talk much anymore

We used to talk
Now in a hundred years
We would still be sitting here
Just to chatter in our poems

We're not
I'm sitting here in silence
And though I have tried
It is hard to talk alone
