Little Talks

My interpretation is that it's about a couple, and the woman is no longer comfortable in the relationship. She wants to move on to bigger and better things, and the man is trying to hold her to the relationship.

"I don't like walking around this old and empty house So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake It's the house telling you to close your eyes"

She doesn't like living in this old and empty relationship. He's trying to comfort her by saying he'll be with her, and that she has nothing to worry about. Then she goes into detail about it, saying she's not comfortable with him, and that the relationship is keeping her from sleeping, or really enjoying her life. The man says that she should just "sleep" anyway, and be comfortable with it.

"Some days I can't even trust myself It's killing me to see you this way"

This is self explanitory. She can't trust herself to make the right decision about whether to leave or stay, and he doesn't like seeing her that way. He could mean that he feels bad for her, or he doesn't like what she's become, wanting to leave the relationship.

"There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back I tell her that I miss our little talks Soon it will all be over, buried with our past You used to play outside when you were young, Full of life and full of love"

There is still a part of her that thinks she should stay, which is holding her back from leaving, but also holding her back from achieving what she really wants in life. He says that that part of her is the part that still loves him, and he misses when that part was all of her. She tells him that this conflict will all be over soon, and he tells her that she used to be so different, and the relationship was better then.

"Some days I feel like I am wrong and I am right Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear"

She says that sometimes she feels like she should stay when she knows in her heart she really should leave, and his part is self explanitory, that he's telling her that her mind is tricking her, telling her not to trust the part that wants her to leave.

"Don't listen to a word I say The screams all sound the same"

This is the perception each person is getting from the other one. When she sings her lines, he hears "Don't listen to me, all my complaints are the same anyway." She hears the same from him.

"You're gone gone gone away I watched you disappear All that's left is a ghost of you Now we're torn torn torn apart, there's nothing we can do Just let me go, we'll meet again soon"

She was already unhappy, and she already acknowledged this stuff about him, and she is telling him to just let her go free.

"Now wait wait wait for me Please hang around I see you when I fall asleep"

He still wants to be with her, and he will continue to dream about her.

"'Cause though the truth may vary This ship will carry Our bodies safe to shore"

They both have different perceptions on how the relationship ended. He thinks she made a mistake, and that she wasn't the same person anymore, and she thinks she was growing, and matured her way out of the relationship. However, they both realize that in the end, the separation is the best thing for both of them.
