[About The Song]

[Verse 1]
One day I was singing to myself about a tangled net I got caught in when I was fifteen
Caught me by the wrist and it got pretty twisted
Why don't people say what they mean?
'Cause I've been spending lots of time dreaming things I shouldn't dream
Then you opened up your eyes and hypnotized me
Now I find myself only able to sing your name, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a new game, new rules
Gotta learn how to play it like a pro, play it like a pro
But why play games when I can just say this to let you know?

[Chorus]
I want my hands in your hair, cool summer air
Talking 'bout nothing on the backyard swing
But people love to talk, people love to talk
People love to talk, yeah
I want your hand in my hand, warm ocean sand
Taking on the world with a single swing
But people love to talk, people love to talk
People love to talk, babe

Ooh, people love to talk, people love to talk

[Verse 2]
One day I fell into a whole new world where all I saw was my name with yours
Comforting in a sense, comforting innocence
But I've been getting kind of bored
'Cause I've been spending lots of time saying things I don't mean
Wonder how often you emphasize me
Now I find myself only able to read your name, yeah, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
It's a new game, new rules
Gotta learn how to play it like a pro, play it like a pro
But why play games when you can just admit it?
Let me know

[Chorus]
I want my hands in your hair, cool summer air
Talking 'bout nothing on the backyard swing
But people love to talk, people love to talk
People love to talk, yeah
I want your hand in my hand, warm ocean sand
Taking on the world with a single swing
But people love to talk, people love to talk
People love to talk, babe

[Bridge]
And I promise not to play you for a fool
But you have to stop playing it cool
And I notice the way you say the vows
And I recommend you say them to me now

It's a new game, new rules
Gotta learn how to play it like a pro, play it like a pro
But now we've got a little team
Gonna win it now, gonna win it now

[Chorus]
I want my hands in your hair, cool summer air
Talking 'bout nothing on the backyard swing
But people love to talk, people love to talk
People love to talk, yeah
I want your hand in my hand, warm ocean sand
Taking on the world with a single swing
But people love to talk, people love to talk
People love to talk, babe
