Listening - Tonight Alive

Your eyes are closed

You’re asleep, and are you dreaming?

Is this truth we know

Even the truth at all,

We’re only breathing

Naive minds for naive lives,

We don’t have nine lives,

Open your eyes

The only chance you get,

Is here tonight

We all have hearts that beat

You’re nodding, but are you listening?

Your lips move,

No one makes a sound

You listening?

Are you listening?

Our eyes they cannot see,

They’re wasted on people just like me

I’ve been blind for too long,

I thought I knew my right from wrong

But now it only seems letting myself down

Isn’t just in my dreams

You’ll have to be true to yourself,

Then you’ll see

That we all have hearts that beat

You’re nodding, but are you listening?

Your lips move,

No one makes a sound

You listening?

Are you listening?

We all have to believe,

That it’s easier to dream, so

Your lips move,

No one makes a sound

You listening?

Are you listening?

It’s a little bit of give,

And a little bit of take

When you’re looking for the mark you want to make

It’s a little bit of give,

And a little bit of take

Don’t be afraid no,

Don’t be afraid no

It’s just a part everyone gotta go through

Don’t be afraid no,

Don’t be afraid no

We all have hearts that beat

You’re nodding, but are you listening?

Your lips move,

No one makes a sound

You listening?

Are you listening?

We’ve all learnt to believe,

That it’s easier to dream, so

Your lips move,

No one makes a sound

You listening?

Are you listening?

Are you, are you listening?

You listening?

Are you listening?
