I Want to Listen

[Verse 1]
I rest my case
In a bed unmade
The headboard strained
Under the weight of my memory of
The day so crammed
Getting low on RAM
Getting high on strife
Stock is overflowing, do you wish that you could throw it in?

[Chorus]
Why
Do you like
To be mine?

[Verse 2]
'Cause I'm late again
To realising
The spiral turns
So steadily down, there's no getting out
Unless you quit
Zoom out a bit
Uncross your eyes
It ruins the illusion but it's well worth the losing

[Chorus]
And why
Do you like
To still try?

[Verse 3]
My love, my dear
It's been quite a year
It's been quiet and loud
Laughter and tears, courage and fear
I can't allow
This furrowed brow
These borrowed blues
To keep washing out the delicate sounds
Of you

[Outro]
So if you want to whisper, I swear I want to listen
