The Listening Lyrics

Cover art for The Listening lyrics by Lights

Going by the official lyrics, I feel like the song is more or less straightforward. She's got a lot on her mind, so much that she can't speak clearly and she's really nervous. The things she says are coming out all wrong, and in the end, she wants to just kiss whoever she's trying to talk to and let that say everything she means to say. The bridge is exactly why I love this song so much. [:

My Interpretation

I love how the title just pops out in the middle. It's like the ultimate climax :D We're waiting for that moment when she will utter 'The Listening' and when it comes it's amazing! This is my fav song.
