Close your eyes (Just breathe slow) And listen carefully To the sound of the music in your ears Close your eyes (Block out the noise) And listen carefully To the pounding and the beating in your chest Are they the same? Or have they changed? I’m exhausted from trying to explain Close your eyes (Be still now) And listen carefully To the blood as it flows beneath your skin Close your eyes (Breathe it in) And listen carefully To your lungs, as they fill up with oxygen Are they the same? Or have they changed? We’re wasting time on this… Are we not on the… same… page??? (just listen!) I’m not sure what you want from me But I think I’ve got a clue That grayness in your eyes was cast by you I’d try to help but I don’t know what to do So I guess I’ll just wait a while And see what comes to mind Both of us alone together Maybe there’s a sign Listen carefully… LISTEN LISTEN NES-SIT NES-SIT Listen… Really Listen… (listen) Really Listen… Really Listen… (listen) La-la-la-Listen La-la-la—la-Listen! I’m not sure what you want from me But I think I’ve got a clue That grayness in your eyes was cast by you I’d try to help but I don’t know what to do Close your eyes (Just breathe in) And listen carefully To the sound of the music in your ears Close your eyes (One last time) And listen carefully To the pounding and the beating in your chest Just close your eyes… Listen… Listen… Listen… Listen… Listen… Listen… Listen… Listen… Listen… Really… Listen… Really… Listen…
