The pavement seemed extra hot that day
Ice scraper pushed his flavor cart my way
Trying to get done what I’ve got to do
Wish I could just drop it off and run home to you
But you ain’t got time, like I ain’t got time
And its hard to hear each other well
When we’re tired as hell
Cuz I’d take my side, and you’d take your side,
And then we’re fighting again,
I could use a neutral friend...
Can’t you listen on behalf of the universe?
Can’t you listen and pretend these are only words?
Can’t you listen and just hear it my way this time?
Can’t you listen, and be on my side?
When I failed that class in Biology
Betrayed by my restless personality
All I needed was some faith, a little sympathy
From my teacher or someone in my family
But they ain’t got time, like you ain’t got time
And its hard to hear each other well
When we’re tired as hell
I’d take my side, and you’d take your side,
And then we’re fighting again, I could use a neutral friend....
Can’t you listen on behalf of the universe?
Can’t you listen and pretend these are only words?
Can’t you listen and just hear it my way this time?
Can’t you listen, and be on my side?
