talking to myself
brb.
After a hot debut with Cool With It, ‘pop&B’ trio brb. release their follow-up single, Talking To Myself. The wistfully soulful second single holds special meaning for the band: as the first song born from their very first writing session as a group, the collective chemistry experienced in that session sparked the beginnings of their identity, as well as the identifiable brb. moniker.
“Talking To Myself details the downward spiral of falling in love with someone’s future rather than who they are now. It speaks about the long term effects of unreasonable compromises made to appease a delusional relationship,” the band says. “Yup, it’s a break up song but it’s also complicated. It’s that predicament of not knowing when to fold, holding on to a sliver of hope that someone will change and that things will become better.”
[Verse 1]
You know I can’t stop thinking
About how you keep on missing
What’s not me what I could be
Late nights have got me feeling
Like I should keep on listening
To the streets turn out the heat
[Chorus]
I can’t make magic
Taken for granted
Can’t say its over
Lover and I
Keep talking to myself lately
Keep talking to myself lately
[Verse 2]
I know we got together and forever but
Gotta find a way to make it work without
All the ones know I can’t do
A compromise yeah I know it’s true
So let us all fall into consensus
With right and wrong we’ll find our fixes oh
I mean we can pretend
But I’m benevolent
Just so you know
[Chorus]
I can’t make magic
Taken for granted
Can’t say its over
Lover and I
Keep talking to myself lately
Keep talking to myself lately
[Verse 3]
Remember how we used to
Feel like nothings better
Walked to your doorstep thinking
I can’t live without her
Eyes closed for a minute
Feels right now in it
Hands around your waist
Real talk, no gimmicks
Yeah she’s a witch
[Chorus]
I can’t make magic
Taken for granted
Can’t say its over
Lover and I
Keep talking to myself lately
Keep talking to myself lately
