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 unsaid

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

I'm listening

We 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


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
Believe me
Just talk


I will listen to your hopes
I will listen to your dreams

Anything you want to be
Believe me


I will listen to you now
Then again and all the while
I wanna see you smile again

Oh, yeah
I'm listening
