Listen
David Guetta feat John Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a new direction to a different coast
Maybe we should try and put it on the line
You've gotta trust me now, turn up the radio
Tune out the world and roll with the melody
Baby, listen close and open up your mind
Imagine if anywhere
Knew one day, from the start
We'd be as one, now here we are
All we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
Listen, all we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
Soundtrack in the wind, like passing violins
I can be your rhythm in the silence
And every time we sing, it echoes in the sky
Let me close your eyes, help you fantasize
Make a kiss our playlist the entire night
Listen to the words as I let 'em fly, oh
Imagine if anywhere
More than miles, I'll take you there
Knew one day, from the start
We'd be as one, now here we are
All we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
Listen, all we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
Listen, all we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
All we gotta do is listen
