LISTENING

It’s the eve of the season of our betrayal
Your carpets clean, your seats all wrapped up in vinyl
I don’t ask what you’re covering up, the checks in the mail
They’ve lined all the bleachers just to watch it fail

Don’t look at me like I’m absurd
‘Cause your look says so much more than your words

You didn’t want to talk about it and I wasn’t listening
You wanted just to shout it, sometimes, and I wasn’t listening

It’s been days and days since we found the space to connect
There are things we want undone, things to correct
You call me up again, say how long you tried to reach me
But I’ve lost and learned things your kindness couldn’t teach me
You wanted to know where I had gone
I said nowhere and asked you to hold on

You didn’t want to talk about it and I wasn’t listening
You wanted just to shout it, sometimes, and I wasn’t listening

And you said maybe we should just split
I sent out a silent prayer that you would change your mind
You thought if we just reversed it
What was so strong united, would soon just be untied

It’s the dawn of the season of our renewal
In your glance a new found pearl, a perfect jewel
Tomorrow we will laugh and say, do you remember when…?
And if a shadow of a memory seeps back in again

Anytime you want to talk about it
I’ll be listening
You don’t have to scream or shout it
I’ll be listening
Just whisper to me and look at me that way again
