Song Lyrics

What am I talking about?
Got too much to say, got too much to shout
Should I write it in capital letters?
You can figure it out
Why make a noise when you're deaf to my words?
You think it's a ploy and I'm testin' your nerve
How can I show you the truth
When you're turned away when I'm bruised?
Someone cut the line of communication
Someone cut the line
Someone cut the line where the explanation

I can't get in, I can't get out
I can't get over how you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out
If I'm to blame then help me understand
You can't complain when you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out

This is serious to say, a serious saying
I notice that whenever the melody rings
You take a sentiment and pop it in the bank
And start jammin'
You're subliminal to know, and all the things you don't
Your intelligence is oblivious to so much, so much
You go so tight that

I can't get in, I can't get out
I can't get over how you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out
If I'm to blame then help me understand
You can't complain when you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out

How do you propose that we go forward
Backward, left or right
Or know how to continue on this path at all?
Why can't you see I'm in love with you?
Can you step out of your cubbyhole
Know me tight, speak your mind
As we roll on through life it'll be alright
If you're by my side
Let go and try, let me in
So I can sit by your side for the rest of our lives
Cut that rope and line and tie
Tie it up tight
Someone cut the line, someone cut the line
Someone went and cut our line
We gotta mend it

I can't get in, I can't get out
I can't get over how you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out
If I'm to blame then help me understand
You can't complain when you're shuttin' me out
Shuttin' me out, shuttin' me out

What am I supposed to do with that?
Where are we gonna go with that?
Nowhere
Nowhere good
What am I supposed to do with that?
Where are we gonna go, baby, if you won't talk to me, love?
Where we gonna go now?
Don't shut me out
Don't shut me out
