Shelter - Listen Lyrics

Words aren't my forte
I know that is clear
There's just somethin' that I need to say
That I know I need you to hear

You're somethin' special
I'm insecure
I love the time we have together
But I live for somethin' more

I know that minutes turn to hours
And that hours turn to days
And I know there's not much time to get away

But you're like the center of my solace
Like my soul's been given form
And I'd love to hear the things you'd like to say

I just want to listen
Your voice sweeter than
A perfect paradise

I just want to listen
You give me hope
That someday I will rise

I just want to listen
I love your style
I like your finesse
There's just somethin' that I need to say
That I know I need to confess

I feel like I'm drowning
It might be hard to tell
But I wanna see the way you see things
In the way you do well

I know that minutes turn to hours
And that hours turn to days
And I know there's not much time to get away

But you're like the center of my solace
Like my soul's been given form
And I'd love to hear the things you'd like to say

I just want to listen
Your voice sweeter than
A perfect paradise

I just want to listen
You give me hope
That someday I will rise

I just want to listen
No matter where you go
Or what you do
Just know that I'll always be by your side

I know you're scared of their eyes
And the things that they'll say
But darling you're too beautiful to hide

I just want to listen
Your voice sweeter than
A perfect paradise

I just want to listen
You give me hope
That someday I will rise

I just want to listen
You're like a summer song
Fading into night

I just want to listen
You give me hope
That someday I will rise

I just want to listen
I just want to listen
