"Let's Talk About Us" is a song by Dave Edmunds that explores a relationship where communication has broken down. The lyrics depict a couple who have been discussing trivial and external things, such as birdies and the moon, but have avoided addressing the underlying issues in their relationship. The narrator urges their partner to stop pretending and acknowledge the problems between them. The song highlights the importance of open and honest communication in a relationship. The repeated line "we've talked, an' talked, an' talked, an' talked, but there's been nothin' said" emphasizes the lack of meaningful conversation and understanding between the couple. The narrator longs for a deeper connection where they can discuss the good times, the bad times, and ultimately address what is wrong. The lyrics suggest that there is a lack of emotional intimacy and a sense of frustration on the part of the narrator. They express a commitment to love their partner until the end but also make it clear that they are not willing to stay in a relationship that is devoid of depth and mutual understanding. Overall, "Let's Talk About Us" serves as a reminder of the importance of heartfelt conversations and addressing relationship issues rather than avoiding them. It conveys the desire for a stronger emotional bond and a genuine connection between two individuals.
