Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna be with you
I wanna be clear
But each time I try, it's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again
[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm listening to the conversation
Judge and jury in my head
It's coloring everything
All we did and said
[Verse 3]
And still I hear that sharp tongue talking
Talking tangled words
I can sense the danger
Just listen to the wind
[Verse 4]
I want you close
I want you here
I can't help but listen, but I don't wanna hear
Hear that voice again
[Verse 5]
And I wanna be with you
I wanna be clear
But each time I try, it's the voice I hear
Hear that voice again
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
Hear it through the rattle of a streetcar
Hear it through the things you said
I can get so scared
Listen to the wind
[Verse 8]
I want you close
I want you here
I can't help but listen, but I don't wanna hear
Hear that voice again
[Verse 9]
What I carry in my heart
Brings us so close or so far apart
Only love can make love
[Verse 10]
I want you close
I want you here
I can't help but listen, but I don't wanna hear
I hear that voice again
[Verse 11]
I wanna be with you, I wanna be clear
But each time I try, it's the voice I hear
I hear that voice again
