LYRICS

listen...stand...don’t move..stay still. listen know your time stays now with me, don’t argue worry fret or talk, you know you gotta just listen...hold...no threats, no war. listen up before this thing we have gets old and tired, goes crazy from the wear

arms around the sun get burned,
stars blow up before you learn
that starlight brightens nothing.
warmth around you soon turns cold,
flowers limp and all you see turns old
but your bass line and mine

listen...kiss me...feel confusion ping from side to side, pull away...start running, running from the words you say and listen...hold me...don’t think twice. hold my hand, don’t lead or follow blindly ‘cause you’ll lose me if you dare to look away

don’t you know that i can feel the war inside of you.
and i don’t always know just what to do.
but if you listen to your heart
you’ll hear me, you’ll hear me

listen, just stand there and don’t speak a word cause you know that i know what’s best for you. listen, stand there, don’t think twice, stand and look into my eyes ‘cause i’m the only who understands you.

arms around the sun get burned,
stars blow up before you learn
that starlight brightens nothing.
warmth around you soon turns cold,
flowers limp and all you see turns old
but your bass line and mine

STORY BEHIND THE SONG:

A real stream of consciousness tune. Sitting on the bed. Trying to figure out the right thing to say to someone who just doesn't get, that in the best way imaginable...love ain't that complicated. Love's simple...we fuck it all up by complicating things. It's not always that easy, but if you go back to the simplicity of it all, you can get back to the right thing...or so i seemed to think at the time...maybe i'm full of shit, but it seems to work for me!
