Hear Me
Green Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to the words to this song
Come hear me
Listen and it won't take very long
Come hear me

If you do I'll explain myself away
Until there will be nothing left to say
And the black wrong I've done
Will fade to grey
And the sun will be brighter by one ray

Listen to the way that we play
Come hear me
Listen 'cause we can't just go away
Come hear me
Won't you hear me?

And you know if you
Don't we can't go on
And you know that we've waited for so long
And it's a shame the way they make us linger on
We just thought we might
Help you with our song
Oh won't you hear me?

Listen to the way that I pray
Come save me
Listen the petals of time
Will soon fall away
Please hear Me
Oh won't you hear me

And you know that
I meant to do my best
But the laughter has hurt more than the jest
And it's too long a sleep to get no rest
Keeps me hoping that I'll
Somehow pass the test
Oh, won't you hear me?
Please hear me




Oh, won't you hear me?
Come and hear me
