Don’t Talk Enough

Don’t Talk Enough

Words and Music by Brian Griffin (9-20-06)

My girl says I don’t talk enough to her
My love says I don’t discuss
All the things that are important
And she’s saying enough’s enough
She’s putting down her foot
She’s looking me in the eye
She asking me again
What do you got on your mind…

I say…
I’m thinking about the country
I’m thinking about my kids
Thinking about all the pain I caused
Thinking about what I did
Wondering if true peace will come
and what are we fighting for
Why do we have to fight
In this stupid President’s stupid war
I’m thinking about the future
I’m thinking about the past
I am thinking about the present
Thinking about how to make joy last
What do I have to say
What do I have to do
To ease all the doubts you have girl
About my love for you
Wondering if there is a future
Writing a bunch of words that rhyme
Am I reaching anyone out there
Or am I just wasting my time
What am I leaving behind
What is my legacy?
Bring some hope to a hopeless world
The power of a good deed
Can I really make things better
With my voice and this guitar
Can I give people hope
Or is that going a bit too far
Am I asking for too much
Am I acting selfishly
I just want to love everyone
And hope everyone love me
I want you in my life girl
I want you to be all I see
I want to spend my time with you
Your love is what I truly need
So I hope that answers all your questions
I hope it brings to an end
All the doubts that you have
I want you for my lover confidant and friend
So I may not have all the answers
They are just too hard to find
The one thing I know is that I need you with me
for the rest of my life
The rest of my life
the rest of my life
Until the day I die…

My girl says I don’t talk enough to her
