Heard

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
