Talk to Me

Words and Music by Todd Lerner

Talk to me first

Tell me all that you believe

And the things I hear from you

They are the things that I think too

Talk to me on the phone at night

Talk about everything

We are friends

And you can talk to me

Show me something tiny

Show me something small and real

Show me that you’re brave enough

To be a little scared

Show me that you like me too

Open up so I can see

We are more than friends

You can now show that to me

Walk with me right up to the edge

(I am a little scared)

Where the future can catch the sky

(But I will walk with you)

The living code is busted open wide

(I like what you say)

Let ’em watch us from behind

(And what you want us to do)

Now take a step the gods are on our side

Love me sweet and full my baby

I will love you all I have

Love me wild and free my beauty

Love me I’m your man (you’re my man)

Take my universe and sing it

Total in your hands

Love me baby (I will love you)

You’re my man

Now hold me in your slender arms

And hold me to your breast

You are softer than the night

Against my soul it is undressed

Hold my speeding mind

Kiss it with your quiet breath

Hold you in my arms and to my breast

Lay your sacred dreams my partner

Lay them next to mine

We will keep them in a safe place

And check them all the time

For everything we want

Inside we’ll smile as we climb

Lay your sacred dreams right next to mine

Walk with me right up to the edge

(I am a little scared)

Where the future can catch the sky

(But I will walk with you)

The living code is busted open wide

(I like what you say)

Let ’em watch us from behind

(And what you want us to do)

Now take a step the gods are on our side

I will talk to you always

I’ll tell you what I believe

Girl the things I hear from you

Are the things that I think too

We’ll talk for hours late at night

We’ll talk about everything

We are friends and you can talk to me

(We are friends and I can talk to you)

We are friends and you can talk to me

(I like that)

Boy: We are friends and you can talk to me

Girl: We are friends talk to me
