Lyrics These Words You Want to Hear - Asaf Avidan

These Words You Want to Hear

Don’t you think it’s time
you get on over that?
don’t you think you had enough?
i mean, i know you had it rough
but that pansy-fancy way of looking grim all through the day and night?
is something wrong my dear?
have i said it way to clear?
then let me whisper in your ear
all these words i know are wrong
but for the sake of writing song
here is what i guess you want to hear
somewhere up there
the sky is blue for you
somewhere out there
there’s something new to do somebody loves you
somebody loves you
tell me do you think
you have some exclusivity
on every shadow of regret
that’s lurking in proximity
to what you think your life should be?
but if you close your eyes you’ll see
that there is nothing for you here
still the only words you hear
are somewhere up there
the sky is blue for you
somewhere out there
there is something new to do somebody loves you
somebody loves you
now tell me how about we maybe
switch things for a change?
i will lie down in denial
and you can have this page
its condescending and its sad
you’re not the only one that’s had
a life like this, i’m sorry dear
but it’s what everybody wants to hear
