Lyrics for I Can't Talk Right Now

I'm gonna send you a picture while you stand in line At the grocery store of crazy stuff I find I can't talk right now, maybe another time I can't talk right now, maybe another time Gonna send you a text on your commute drive Just a few little questions and a couple of jibes I can't talk right now, maybe another time Gonna send you a text just to say goodnight But I can't talk right now, maybe another night I'm gonna stay in touch with a few more chimes But I can't talk now, I'm on the other line No, I can't talk now, maybe another time Gonna send you a text on your commute drive But I can't talk right now, maybe another time Well, I climb into bed as the sun starts to shine But I can't talk right now, maybe another time All jokes aside and no great rapport Gonna keep things cool, maintain an open door To a windowless room with no furniture All jokes aside and no great rapport But I can't talk right now, maybe tomorrow Well, I can't talk right now, maybe another time Well, I climb into bed as the sun starts to shine Oh, I can't talk right now, maybe tomorrow night Well, I can't talk now, maybe another time Well, I can't talk right now, maybe another time
