"It's That Talk Again" - To my mind, this calls up chronic FicPsych patients (Jeanine Guiles, Chelsea Miller, etc.) The early lines are the psychiatrist trying to nurse the agent's mental health back, with the agent resisting:

I never meant for this to last
We turn around, a year has passed
And now you've got these thoughts in your head
You never heard a word I said
It's that talk again


The chorus is the patient fighting treatment, afraid to face whatever sent them there:

When all I have to say
Would fill your heart with pain
So let's just walk away


The last verse is the former partner visiting with their friends/current partner, being supportive of the patient's recovery.

I see you in the crowd with your friends again
...
It never really ends
I might have a girl on my arm again
Then you'll want to weave and pretend we never met
But don't do it, don't do it
It's that talk again



"Two Against One" - A lot of the lines here remind me of the "clashing mindsets" dynamic the Flowers like to use in partnering people.

I keep my enemies closer than my mirror ever gets to me
And if you think that there is shelter in this attitude
Wait til you feel the warmth of my gratitude
