Nobody Wants To
Neil Finn
Down on the ocean floor
That’s where I’m heading for
Hold on to a sinking stone
Until the worst is known
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
Nobody protects you
They make it go away
Pretending that it’s all okay
Broken pieces on the ground
And everyone’s tiptoeing ’round
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it
No one protects you, yeah
Are we losing something
We used to cry, we used to say why
For all I know I might not get home
But, I found out if we open it up
We could work this out
Nobody wants to think about it
Nobody wants to talk about it now
What you suspected all along
Everything he told you was wrong
And you can see it if you want
But nobody wants to

“This song’s about things that people don’t want to talk about, don’t want to rake up, but how I’m attracted to raking them up and, once exposed, they’re often less dangerous somehow, or less threatening.”
