Lights - The Listening

Lately I have felt a little out of the usual. I haven't written lately because I haven't had the words to describe exactly how I feel...

I'm in PEI right now and listening to my friend play the guitar, she's singing a song by the artist "Lights" and it's called "The Listening". The lyrics are almost perfect to how I'm feeling. I'm sorry I can't convey them at this point - I will try to conjure up some words soon - but who knows when that will happen. Press play to the music and follow along with the lyrics. She has such a beautiful voice.

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 all of my emotions get in the way
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 all of my emotions get in the way
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?
And can I let my mouth do the listening?
The listening

I never really ever know what to say
When all of my emotions get in the way
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 mean to say
