I don’t have a choice, when you cover me with words.
I don’t have a voice, when you walk all over my turn.
I don’t have an exit route, and I’m not inclined to raise my voice and shout.
Over you.
This moment that we share, is not just about you.
For a moment I wish you’d care, and actually listen close.
For a moment please just hold it in, and don’t jump at the next chance to speak again.
If you’re patient, it just might be worth the wait.
If you listen, you just might like what I say.
If you open, you just might learn a thing or two.
There’s no need to turn this into,
A conversation about you.
And it might not be wise, to continue as we are.
Cause it might not be alive, this conversation’s dead and gone.
It might be missing a part, a piece, a half of a whole just quiet down you will see.
You will see.
If you’re patient, it just might be worth the wait.
If you listen, you just might like what I say.
If you open, you just might learn a thing or two.
There’s no need to turn this into,
A conversation about you.
I know that you got a lot to say,
But I’m not sure its volume is worth the weight/wait.
So try on a new pair and take a walk,
Instead of waiting for the next chance to talk.
If you’re patient, it just might be worth the wait.
If you listen, you just might like what I say.
If you open, you just might learn a thing or two.
There’s no need to turn this into,
A conversation about you.
