Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listen, I can hear the voice
I need a helping hand
Just to beat the void
I need a mission, a dream to stop me talking to myself
And now the silence is broken, now my soul is to sell
I need to pick up the pieces, to scatter to the wind
Hold the city to your ears
You can hear the waves come in
You can't change the world with a song
You can't make it right when it's wrong
[Verse 2]
I can't stop this music travelling 'round with me
Wherever I go
It's playing for you
I can't stop this voice unravelling randomly
Whatever I do
It's talking to you
[Verse 3]
The world dances to the rhythm of its own heart
Beating for you
However you move
So speak to me
Believe, believe, believe me
[Verse 4]
Don't let it slip through your fingertips
When there's a ghost
Don't try to reason with it
'Cause now I'm tired
I'm wired
So I won't miss a thing
I wrote my words up to dry
And I've forgotten what to sing
But you can't change the world with a song
You can't make it right when it's wrong
[Verse 5]
I can't stop this music travelling 'round with me
Wherever I go
It's playing for you
I can't stop this voice unravelling randomly
Whatever I do
It's talking to you
[Verse 6]
The world dances to the rhythm of its own heart
Beating for you
However you move
So speak to me
Believe, believe, believe me
[Verse 7]
If that's what it was to you
Then that's what it was to me
If that's what it was to you
Then that's what it was to me
If that's what it was to you
Then that's what it was to me
[Verse 8]
But you can't change the world with a song
You can't make it right when it's wrong
[Verse 9]
I can't stop this music travelling 'round with me
Wherever I go
It's playing for you
I can't stop this voice unravelling randomly
Whatever I do
It's talking to you
[Verse 10]
The world dances to the rhythm of its own heart
Beating for you
However you move
So speak to me
Believe, believe, believe me
Believe, believe, believe me
