	Story Behind the Song The song is in some kind of hypnotic C-tuning, maybe one of the first I've ever written with the guitar tuned down this way. For a while there, every time I tuned in, I'd write a new song. . .it's such an evocative tuning--I highly recommend it (CGCGCE). Although it probably sounds like the lyrics are addressed to someone, they really aren't, or maybe the song is addressed to everyone, or no one, or maybe to myself in all the roles. Anyway, that kind of self-interpretation can be pretty boring for the rest of the world. Suffice to say, I like what the song expresses, regardless of whoever it's "really" addressed to. Lyrics How many times do you want me to tell you, I'm insecure How many times I've told you, I know I'm to blame Before you open your door Why must you bury everything Everything you feel Before you smash those nerves of steel You take me on this ride This roller coaster ride Of guessing what is real chorus: why don't you talk to me I want you to talk to me, now why don't you talk to me why won't you talk? I've watched the day breaking Breaking through the window so darkly I've heard the night singing The moon and a million stars Singing out so darkly chorus: why don't you talk to me I want you to talk to me, now why don't you talk to me why won't you talk? How many words must we leave around the room Scattered in the gloom And how can we touch if we keep our love at bay till our chances slip away chorus: why don't you talk to me I want you to be free, now why don't you talk to me why won't you talk?
