[Intro — immediate rhythmic guitar and bass] [No atmospheric fade, no humming] [Verse 1] Everybody's got an answer Before the question leaves your mouth Everybody talks much louder When they don't know what it's about One more voice across the table One more fist against the air We keep shouting to be noticed Never noticing who's there [Pre-Chorus] Say it louder Say it fast Make your moment Make it last [Chorus] That was the day We forgot to listen Everybody talking Nobody hearing The day We forgot to listen So many voices Nothing getting through [Short Guitar Response] [Verse 2] Brothers turning into strangers Friends dividing into sides Every word becomes a weapon Every doubt a place to hide Maybe truth was never hiding Maybe we just talked too loud Maybe silence had the answer But we couldn't hear it now [Pre-Chorus] Take a side Hold the line Interrupt Before there's time [Chorus] That was the day We forgot to listen Everybody talking Nobody hearing The day We forgot to listen So many voices Nothing getting through [Rhythmic Psychedelic Break] [Syncopated bass and clipped guitar trade short phrases] [Recurring guitar hook grows more distorted] [Bridge — sudden half-time feel] What if I stopped talking? What if you did too? Would the room sound different If I finally heard you? [Final Chorus] That was the day We forgot to listen Everybody talking Nobody hearing The day We forgot to listen Maybe all this noise Was never getting through [Outro] [Main guitar hook returns once, then stops clean]
