I Can't Hear You Lyrics - Singles - Spitalfield

While I stair at the walls turn your back on me 

For that picket fence again 

In your arms I would fold you twice 

Again and again 

In this room with this backwards ceiling fan 

Turn things upside down again 

At one time this felt right 

It's true, you know that 

I can't hear you when you say 

Our words they come out wrong 

It's true, you know that 

You can't hear me when I say 

Our worlds they come apart 

I'm still standing 

All alone, but upright still 

And I wonder what do you think about it 

Did you get what you wished for? 

Was it as much a disaster 

As you made it out to be? 

And you know that I can't read you 

You're not a short story 

As much as you'd like it to be 

And I won't change 

I'm not like the weather 

As much as I'd like to be 

It's true, you know that 

I can't hear you when you say 

Our words they come out wrong 

It's true, you know that 

You can't hear me when I say 

Our worlds they come apart 

With your coffee sense of time 

And my outlook on this life 

I made a list, I wrote it down 

I got a car, I drove around 

But I never though you wouldn't sit in it 

I remember a time you said 

"Don't worry about it", never talk about it 

We never talked about it 

It's true, you know that 

I can't hear you when you say 

Our words they come out wrong 

It's true, you know that 

You can't hear me when I say 

Our worlds they come apart 

This time I think you're right
