He overhears a couple breaking up--and it sounds like something that had recently happened to him.
Story behind the song
I was playing around with beats...and the THUMP-THUMP-THUMP I came up with led me to create this song.
Lyrics
Nothing More To Say
I overheard a couple as they talked in the hall
Their conversation didn’t concern me at all
But I stood there listening like a fly on the wall
To what they had to say
The young girl sounded bitter as she lit up her smoke
“This ain’t working out” were the words that she spoke
“We don’t get along and our love life’s a joke
I’m gonna go away…”
Whoa----Whoa----Whoa----Whoa
Her boyfriend seemed to me to be a pretty nice guy
He shrugged his shoulders and he let out a sigh
He couldn’t come up with a decent reply
He watched her walk away
Whoa----Whoa----It happens every day
Whoa----Whoa----There’s nothing more to say
I headed on home to my one-room flat
I poured me a beer and I let out the cat
Me and my girlfriend ended something like that
Just the other day
Whoa----Whoa----Whoa----Whoa
