Listening
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(You listening? Are you listening?)
Your eyes are closed
You're asleep but are you dreaming?
Is this truth we know even the truth at all?
We're only breeding naive minds for naive lives
We don't have nine lives open your eyes
The only chance you get is here tonight
We all have hearts that beat
You're nodding but are you listening?
Your lips move no one makes a sound
You listening? Are you listening?
Our eyes they cannot see
They're wasted on people just like me
I've been blind for too long
I thought I knew my right from wrong
But now it only seems letting myself down isn't just in my dreams
You'll have to be true to yourself
Then you'll see
That we all have hearts that beat
You're nodding but are you listening?
Your lips move no one makes a sound
You listening? Are you listening?
We've all learned to believe
That it's easier to dream so
Your lips move no one makes a sound
You listening? Are you listening?
It's a little bit of give and a little bit of take
When you're looking for the mark you wanna make
It's a little bit of give and a little bit of take
Don't be afraid no, don't be afraid no
It's just a part of what we gotta go through
Don't be afraid no, don't be afraid no
We all have hearts that beat
You're nodding but are you listening?
Your lips move no one makes a sound
You listening? Are you listening?
And we've all learned to believe
That it's easier to dream so
Your lips move no one makes a sound
You listening? Are you listening?
