Lyrics Learning to Listen - Big D And The Kids Table

Learning to Listen

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?
