I want to be with you

I want to be clear

but each time I try

it's the voice I hear

I hear that voice again



I'm listening to the conversation

judge and jury in my head

it's colouring everything

all we did and said

and still I head that sharp tongue talking

talking tangled words

I can sense the danger

just listen to the wind



I want you close I want you near

I can't help but listen

but I don't want to hear

hear that voice again



I want to be with you

I want to be clear

but each time I try

it's the voice I hear

I hear that voice again



I'm hearing right and wrong so clearly

there must be more than this

it's only in uncertainty

that we're naked and alive

I hear it through the rattle of a streetcar

hear it through the things you said

I can get so scared

listen to the wind



I want you close I want you near

I can't help but listen

but I don't want to hear

hear that voice again



what I carry in my heart

brings us so close or so far apart

only love can make love



I want you close I want you near

I can't help but listen

but I don't want to hear

I hear that voice again



I want to be with you

I want to be clear

but each time I try

it's the voice I hear

I hear that voice again
