Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you're careful not to wake your family up
Sounds like the driver is early
And you try and pay attention when he talks
That's his daughter on the dashboard
And you hope he's this proud of her
If she ends up just like him
He thinks he is
It was crazy at the airport
And you'd rather read the news than try to talk
To the woman on your right who
Says, "You don't believe that, do you?"
You ask why, then bite your tongue
And pay attention until she's done
Telling you how this ain't the travesty they say it is
Even if you don't believe that what she's telling you is true
You're still listening to her and him and me
Even now from the Marriott
Where you plugging in you laptop
And untangling your earbuds
Let us know when you can hear us
'Cause my friend, your kind of views
Make me feel like we're less divided than I fear we are
Even if you don't believe the hearts we're working with are true
You're still listening to her and him and me
When it's us who should be listening to you
And it's me I should be listening to you
And if we travel together only ever down this one way street
Thanks for listening
Thanks for listening
Thanks for listening
Thanks for listening

It's four in the morning
The early hour signifies solitude and reflection
And you're careful not to wake your family up
Showing consideration and respect for loved ones
Sounds like the driver is early
Noticing small details in the surroundings
And you try and pay attention when he talks
Showing interest and attentiveness to others
That's his daughter on the dashboard
Recognizing someone's pride and joy
And you hope he's this proud of her
Wishing the best for others
If she ends up just like him
Hoping for positive qualities to be passed down
Because he seems like a better fellow than
Seeing good in others despite their doubts
He thinks he is
Self-awareness and humility
It was crazy at the airport
Chaos and distractions in everyday life
And you'd rather read the news than try to talk
Preferring observation over engaging in meaningless conversation
To the woman on your right who
Acknowledging the presence of others
Says, 'You don't believe that, do you?'
Challenging beliefs and perspectives
You ask why, then bite your tongue
Choosing to listen and restrain from arguing
And pay attention until she's done
Respecting others' opinions and experiences
Telling you how this ain't the travesty they say it is
Providing a different viewpoint on current events
Even if you don't believe that what she's telling you is true
Respecting differing opinions without agreeing with them
You're still listening to her and him and me
Showing empathy and understanding towards others
Even now from the Marriott
Continuing to connect with people from different places
Where you plugging in you laptop
Engaging with technology for communication
And untangling your earbuds
Finding clarity and focus in the midst of chaos
Let us know when you can hear us
Seeking connection and understanding
'Cause my friend, your kind of views
Appreciating diverse perspectives and insights
Make me feel like we're less divided than I fear we are
Finding common ground and unity in differences
Even if you don't believe the hearts we're working with are true
Acknowledging skepticism while remaining open-minded
You're still listening to her and him and me
Valuing the voices and experiences of others
When it's us who should be listening to you
Recognizing the importance of listening and learning from others
And it's me I should be listening to you
Acknowledging personal growth and self-reflection
And if we travel together only ever down this one way street
Exploring life's journey together with shared experiences
Thanks for listening
Gratitude for open-mindedness and understanding
Thanks for listening
Appreciation for connection and empathy
Thanks for listening
Recognition of the value in meaningful communication
Thanks for listening
Acknowledgment of the importance of listening to others
