Real Estate - Talking Backwards Lyrics






We can talk for hours
When the line is still engaged
We're not getting any closer
You're too many miles away

And I might as well be talking backwards
Am I making any sense to you
And the only thing that really matters
Is the one thing I can't seem to do

When that night was over
And the field was lit up bright
And I walked home with you
Nothing I said came out right

And I might as well be talking backwards
Am I making any sense to you
And the only thing that really matters
Is the one thing I can't seem to do

And I might as well be talking backwards
Am I making any sense to you
And the only thing that really matters
Is the one thing I can't seem to,
Make sense of this dream,
It's the one thing I can't seem to do

  8. G.... R....

    Well well well......more than one good song......I shall keep exploring, with growing optimism.....I suspect a good band....if the third song is a hit....we'll have a new band on full heavy rotation.

  9. f.... y....

    Why am I sad listen to the lyrics. Like when you liking someone and not having any chance to say how you feel and years after you found out that he got married while you already married also but still make you sad. The one who used to get to talk to me for hours and never get so close but somehow I feel comfortable with that guy but I just too stupid to read the signs and now it's all just a memory. This song brings back those nights I've spent with him, saw his band at some stupid concert. That sweet but awkward moment and memories with him.

    We can talk for hours

    We're not getting any closer
    You're too many miles away

    And I might as well be talking backwards
    Am I making any sense to you
    And the only thing that really matters
    Is the one thing I can't seem to do

    When that night was over
    And the field was lit up bright
    And I walked home with you
    Nothing I said came out right

    And I might as well be talking backwards
    Am I making any sense to you
    And the only thing that really matters
    Is the one thing I can't seem to do

    And I might as well be talking backwards

    I heard this song at a department store* in 2014. Every second the music entered my ear, my interest heightened. Sadly, I was in the last few seconds of the song. I grabbed my phone and recorded only 19 seconds of it hoping I could get the lyrics and search it for later. I listened to the recorded audio and could barely hear the lyrics because of the noise inside the store. I asked the customer service where I could ask for the title of the song that was previously played. They told me the operator was in a restricted area. After that, I just felt like my life was over (of course, I'm exaggerating). It was only after a year later in 2015 that I finally found it! I can't really recall how, but it was a huge relief. It's still my favorite song until now. I feel like the luckiest person.

    *SM department store in the Philippines (specifically in Bacolod City)

    @fry chao there will be a day, just wait. Don't lose hope. Keep listening to new music everyday. You'll find it!

    S.... H....

    I know how it feels 😭

    S.... H....

    I heard this at whole foods

    S.... H....

    I’m happy for you that you’ve found the song. Congrats man 😊

    S.... H....

    St. Herip do you have SHAZAM in the Philippines? It helps identify songs so you never have to have this happen again. iPhones do it when you ask Siri to identify - i just prefer shazam app

  34. a.... j....

    Heard this in a Rubios restaurant while using the restroom. Honestly happy i did use the restroom

  35. R.... D....

    I can listen to jangly indie guitars with a toe-tapping tempo all day long.

  36. S.... ....

    Alex's brother (Ethan) is my teacher lol. btw alex is part of the band

  37. F.... C....

    Any suggestions of bands like this? some stuff that I won't know

    F.... C....

    Alvvays

  38. E.... S....

    Makes me remember a future time that I didn't have yet lol

  39. m.... ....

    I go back and forth between liking this band and being bored to tears by its generic blandness. Anyone else feel this way? Serious/sexual replies only pls.

    m.... ....

    i find their 2 latest records(atlas and days, that is) really enjoyable to listen to, but their debut LP is pretty boring and lackluster to me

  40. E.... S....

    #karen johnson-roberts thats hot @Mistaken Oficial

    Rich jangle sound. Love it.

    I have to be real here. Such a great song deserves a kickass video rather than a BTS-type of video. This is one of my favorite songs though. I have high anxiety and listening to this song (and album) puts me in a great place and things bother me a whole lot less when I listen to this while driving.

    S.... S....

    +Sarah Stewart

    Remember, production value doesn't necessarily make the video better :)

    S.... S....

    +Sarah Stewart Totally agree about the video and the place this music takes me. I have no idea how a band tops these last two albums and I will be happy if they just keep making the same stuff forever and ever.

  49. j.... b....

    best song I likt it

  50. K.... .....

    I've been trying to find this song for months I heard it in pacsun and It was my favourite song😂even tho I didn't know it

  51. K.... S....

    I highly recommend you guys to check out the band Wild Nothings if you like Real Estate.

    K.... S....

    Beach Fossils is great as well! Particularly their album What A Pleasure gives me serious Real Estate vibes.

    K.... S....

    and also rogue wave, they sound just like them

    K.... S....

    Kartikeya Srivastava I listened to wild nothing I like the band.

    K.... S....

    Current Joys & Televisions The music of Nick Rattigan

    K.... S....

    Kartikeya Srivastava thanks man

  52. M.... O....

    amazing!

  53. E.... G....

    this feels like one of those albums you put on while you're driving away in the sunset and you're just not coming back home, you're not coming back home not so soon...

    E.... G....

    EXACTLY.

  54. M.... T....

    wow......beautiful video. i love it!!!!!!!!!!

  55. H.... P....

    This is very nice

  56. k.... ....

    Even though I'm an older Boomer whose tastes used to be progressive rock, some of Dylan and even a little acid rock, I like groups like this, the Eels and the Tallest Man on Earth.  The songs are very good with excellent harmonies.

    k.... ....

    If you like this style of music you might like the band Alvvays

  57. k.... j....

    another exceptional song from this band... so glad I discovered their music... just my style

  58. S.... t....

    Really great song!

  59. E.... C....

    I bet they are all real estate agent before.. lol

  60. W.... ....

    In case anyone was wondering what the video was all about, you're pretty much getting live footage of them recording the album in Wilco's studio! A super distinct privilege!

  61. A.... P....

    Not to be confused with Sunny Day Real Estate

    A.... P....

    @amanda rice I don't think anyone was confused.

    A.... P....

    @darthmon26 lol

  62. u.... ....

    real estate???  Can you think of a worse name for a band?

    u.... ....

    @uglyhouse.tv Explosive Vomit (gross and stupid);
    The Tunnel Visionaries (a hairbrained attempt at irony);  
    Phlegm (has to be a metal band - they tend to embrace disgusting);  
    The Furries (creepy weird...really don't want to know);
    The Drying Paint (more commonly known as The Dave Matthews Band).

    u.... ....

    @uglyhouse.tv The Foreskin Earrings is hilarious, bon jovi is a great comment, and a slightly worse band name may have to be The Breast Pimples. On another stream The Tit Zits would throw a good show

    u.... ....

    you sure showed him lads XD

    u.... ....

    The Sideboobs
    Randy and the rapists
    Salty surprise
    The ass men
    The ball touchers
    Kay-sa-Dee-uh
    Butt stuff
    The dick butts
    Cup the balls work the shaft
    Bob's boogers
    Sandy trunks
    Mystery stain
    The panties
    Asparagus restroom
    Captain Craig and the puss pirates
    Baby hands
    Queef chief
    The prolapsed asses
    Stevie and the sodomites

    u.... ....

    Captain Craig & The Puss Pirates is the best one
