Miss Communication

George Bernard Shaw says:
“The single biggest problem in communication
Is the illusion that it has taken place.”

CHORUS
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
We just got our wires crossed
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
I don't know how we got lost
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
We just got our wires crossed
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
I don't know how we got lost

Verse One
It's like those games we played as lads
An individual whispers in your ear and you pass
The secret, and by the time the game concludes
Everyone involved is utterly confused
I mistook your friendly glances
As intimations, you were giving me chances
And it was my lucky day
You gave me play and I knew what to say
And that's such a rarity that it's scaring me
You sat near to me
And started talkin
And I envisioned us walkin
Down the aisle but that there is straight stalkin
I keep my mouth shut and just stare
You think it's weird but I don't really care
'cause I'm tired of playing these games
Girl, let me know if you feel the same

CHORUS
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
We just got our wires crossed
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
I don't know how we got lost
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
We just got our wires crossed
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
I don't know how we got lost

Verse Two
Tell me if this scenario rings a bell
You're texting her everything is swimmingly well
'til you hit caps lock by accident
Weird things start happening
And she like, darling, why you screaming
What's the meaning, I can't even
It's seeming we in for a misdirection
Now it's out of hand like interceptions
Tone of voice can't be read in a text
I'd rather get on the phone instead and get it correct
It's a matter of convenience vs respect
Cuz if we got a problem I'll address you direct
Thought I was mad, cause I ain't use a period
A period... Are you serious?
I'm workin' overtime
And you tripping 'cause I used the wrong emoticon
Oh my God!

CHORUS
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
We just got our wires crossed
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
I don't know how we got lost
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
We just got our wires crossed
It's just a normal case of miscommunication
I don't know how we got lost
