| See the tension in your face
|
| Feel the nerves when we embrace
|
| What emotions do you hide?
|
| All those years of silent thought
|
| betrayed by those whose help
|
| you sought
|
| exiled, lost and forced inside
|
| If you want me
|
| I will listen to your words
|
| The dreams you have deferred
|
| the battles fought
|
| If it helps to
|
| take me to those dark extremes
|
| the meaning of your dreams
|
| the way you’ve thought
|
| Just talk
|
| I’m listening
|
| Just talk
|
| I know your tastes in food and wine
|
| but never really what’s on your mind
|
| What’s going on inside your head?
|
| I hear you say what you can or can’t
|
| I’m never sure what it is you want
|
| There’s always something left unsaidWe ride the waves of joy and fear
|
| I see you on the brink of tears
|
| I never know how you’ll react
|
| Then the sudden laughter rings
|
| The sun is shining, life begins
|
| Happiness could be a fact
|
| I will listen to your hopes
|
| I will listen to your dreams
|
| Anything you want to be
|
| Believe meI will listen to you now
|
| then again and all the while
|
| I wanna see you smile again
|
| Oh, yeah
|
| I’m listening
