Well, I can't win or lose   If you're playing or pretending   Either's easy to do   But the more I get to thinking   The less I think there is to be said   About things that don't need to be said   And they'll never get me to say   Our quiet conversation was some meaningless exchange      There's nowhere to go   Or, believe me, leaving's easy   But I don't know   But no matter how hard, how high, how much you can take   Say they'll never get you to break   And they'll never get me to trade   Our quiet conversation for some meaningless exchange      Sure enough all the things we could talk about   Sure enough all the things going on   Wish I had one bright idea   Just one      Well, I can't win or lose   If you're playing or pretending   Either's easy to do   But the more I get to thinking   The less I think there is to be said   About things that don't need to be said   And they'll never get me to say   Our quiet conversation was some meaningless exchange
