QUIET WHEN YOU’RE LISTENING

Come here kid, promise you’re safe

Want you to know

I got something to tell ya

I take my time, take it slow

Got something to give

Got endless love

Don’t waste time or get caught up

Wondering why yesterday’s gone

It’s so quiet when you’re listening

So quiet

So quiet

It’s so quiet when you’re listening

So quiet

So quiet

Cos I thought I could sit tight

Waste time and carry on exploding

Keep on rolling through the night

But sometimes, these days

When I’m trying to walk

I end up running

It’s so quiet when you’re listening

So quiet

So quiet

Now take the locks from the doors

The beams from the roof

The words from the air

The truth from the news

And in a new place you might find your desires

It’s two for the locker

And two for your life

Like working a shit job

You don’t wanna do

Casually, part time, want full time with you

It’s so quiet when you’re listening

So quiet

So quiet

It’s so quiet when you’re listening

So quiet

So quiet

You’ll slam a door

You’ll tell a lie

You’ll miss your mother

You’ll make me cry

But there is no end if you don’t wanna start

Someone with mistakes

Has still got a heart

You got your time

You got you head

Spend it with people you don’t wanna forget

Stay next to me, a voice in the gloom

Cos it’s so quiet when you’re listening

So quiet
