Lyrics
I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again
Oh, I'm listening to the conversation
Judge and jury in my head
It's colouring everything
All we did and said
And still I hear that sharp tongue talking
Talking tangled words
I can sense the danger
Just listen to the wind
I want you close
I want you here
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
Hear that voice again
I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again
Oh, I'm hearing right and wrong so clearly
There must be more than this
It's only in uncertainty
That we're naked and alive
I hear it through the rattle of a streetcar
Hear it through the things you said
I can get so scared
Listen to the wind
I want you close
I want you here
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
Hear that voice again
What I carry in my heart
Brings us so close or so far apart
Only love can make love
I want you close
I want you here
I can't help but listen
But I don't want to hear
I hear that voice again
I want to be with you
I want to be clear
But each time I try
It's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again
