Cover art for The Listening lyrics by Lights

Please excuse me, I'm not thinking clear It must just be stress But I likely shouldn't be here I'm such a mess

I never really ever know what to say When all of my emotions get in the way I'm just trying to get us on the same page I always get it better right afterwards When all the wrong impressions are said and heard How come I can never get the right words? I need to convey, Wish I could explain

The things that I have to work out I don't feel right What has come over me, I'm about to lose my mind

I never really ever know what to say When all of my emotions get in the way I'm just trying to get us on the same page I always get it better right afterwards When all the wrong impressions are said and heard How come I can never get the right words? I need to convey, Wish I could explain

Can I let the trees do the talking? Can I let the ground do the walking? Can I let the sky fill what missing? And can I let my mouth do the listening? The listening

I never really ever know what to say When all of my emotions get in the way I'm just trying to get us on the same page I always get it better right afterwards When all the wrong impressions are said and heard How come I can never get the right words? I need to convey, Wish I could explain what I mean to say
