Pause

I’ve been trying to tell you

Everything you need to hear

But my words seem to hollow out

Before they reach your ears

though I know you too have things to say

That much is clear

Must you interfere?

Now I know there’s not an evil bone inside you

I know that’s true

There are things I’ve said many times now that aren’t getting through

if we can’t listen to one another what good am I to you

I know one thing we can do

How about we try and take a pause

A little time away to help the cause

How about we try and take a pause here

I wanna give you everything

you say you need

but to talk over each other we know quite well

where that leads

Lets change the way this goes

And plant a seed

it might grow like a weed

How about we try and take a pause

A little time away to help the cause

How about we try and take a pause

How about we let the fire die

Leave our emotions there to lie

How about we let the fire die now
