Heard Lyrics

She said pay me what you owe me, all of your attention
Show me that you know me, give me a connection,
All of your affection too, all the rest of you.
Cause all of my words fall out underwater
Never quite learn to swim like they oughta
Drowned down and out in blue, on their way to you
Square sounds in a round ear
Tangled prayers trapped in the atmosphere

We're tongues running out of time
To give to the heart what the head can't find
A world wide awake tonight wondering what it takes to be heard
All we want is just to be heard

Watching my words all collapse like Babylon
Let the smoke clear brush is off and rabble on
Oh how do I get through? How do I get you?
Yeah, we can crack codes all night if you wanna
Saying what you mean don't mean that we're gonna
Ever build love from lust, ever be more than just a
Square sound in a round ear.
Tangled prayer trapped in the atmosphere

We're tongues running out of time
To give to the heart what the head can't find
A world wide awake tonight wondering what it takes to be heard
All we want is just to be heard
