Listening

See the tension in your face Feel the nerves when we embrace What emotions do you hide? All those years of silent thought Betrayed by those whose help You sought Exiled, lost and forced inside If you want me I will listen to your words The dreams you have deferred The battles fought If it helps to Take me to those dark extremes The meaning of your dreams The way you've thought Just talk I'm listening Just talk I know your tastes in food and wine But never really what's on your mind What's going on inside your head? I hear you say what you can or can't I'm never sure what it is you want There's always something left unsaid We ride the waves of joy and fear I see you on the brink of tears I never know how you'll react Then the sudden laughter rings The sun is shining, life begins Happiness could be a fact I will listen to your hopes I will listen to your dreams Anything you want to be Believe me I will listen to you now Then again and all the while I wanna see you smile again Oh, yeah I'm listening
