Learning to Listen - Big D And The Kids Table

Don’t act up, no, don’t act up, no

Each time, I’m learning to listen

But what did you want to hear?

But what did you want to hear?

Self minded, you deny your fear

How am I back here?

How am I back here?

How am I back here?

How am I back?

The feeling dwells in deep

The feeling dwells in deep

The feeling dwells in

And when I look around, I see we’re all the same

Yet different ways to express how we’re feeling

Your silence keeps you in line, helps you push the blame

But my intensity does not deserve any guilt or shame

Back and forth, I hear, yes, I do hear all your words

My question is: Are you listening?

I won’t let it get to me, but who am I trying to kid?

What’s right is right, who said you’re wrong?

I did

How am I back here?

How am I back here?

How am I back here?

How am I back?

The feeling dwells in deep

The feeling dwells in deep

The feeling dwells in

And when I look around, I see we’re all the same

Yet different ways to express how we’re feeling

Your silence keeps you in line, helps you push the blame

But my intensity does not deserve any guilt or shame

Now am I supposed to just let it go?

Continue when I feel it’s wrong

I’m standing, I’m standing too straight for you

And if you sit back, that’s fine

But why is my word so wrong to you?
