Lights - The Listening Lyrics

Please excuse me 
I'm not thinking clear 
It must just be stress but I likely shouldn't be here 
I'm such a mess 

I never really ever know what to say 
When I let my emotions get in the way 
And I'm just trying to get us on the same page 
I always get it better right afterwards 
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard 
How come I can never get the right words I need to convey
Wish I could explain 

The things that I have to work out 
I don't feel right 
What has come over me 
I'm about to lose my mind 

I never really ever know what to say 
When I let my emotions get in the way 
And I'm just trying to get us on the same page 
I always get it better right afterwards 
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard 
How come I can never get the right words I need to convey
Wish I could explain

Can I let the trees do the talking
Can I let the ground do the walking 
Can I let the sky fill what's missing in
Can I let my mouth do the listening
The listening 

I never really ever know what to say 
When I let my emotions get in the way 
And I'm just trying to get us on the same page 
I always get it better right afterwards 
When all the wrong impressions are said and heard 
How come I can never get the right words I need to convey
Wish I could explain what I need to say
