talkin to you makes me smile
feels like it's been quite a while
I've had an interesting year
feels so good to be here with you
and I'm wonderin what you've been up to

see you starin at your phone
I might as well be here alone
tell me what's so fascinating
might as well be dating that thing
you don't have to answer every ring

wish that I knew what to say
you wouldn't listen anyway
the awkward silence spreads
like listening to dead air
but it's obvious that you just don't care

woah the awkward silence
woah will it ever end
woah the awkward silence

how could you be so rude
I don't mean to intrude
on what has glued your eyes to your screen
if you don't answer me I'll scream
flip this table over make a scene

maybe you haven't heard
got myself a pretty bird
well actually it's more
it's closer to a dinosaur
but probably you heard this all before

how could I forget
last week I met Queen Elizabeth
raced go-karts down the track
I'm sure she cheated, what a hack
I can't believe I never mentioned that

woah the awkward silence
woah will it ever end woah
woah the awkward silence

talkin to you used to make my day
now I've gotta walk away
in the doorway I look back
I pretend to have a heart attack
but you don't notice, you do not react
the other patrons gather round
but I don't make a single sound

nothing left but the awkward silence
