Keep On Listening
Oh Weatherly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know It′s hard
You got what you got
And not what you deserved
I'll sing you to sleep
So you can dream of beautiful things
And I know you won′t believe a single thing
Oh oh, oh oh, ohhh
Oh oh, oh oh, ohhh
Oh oh, oh oh, ohhh
And say what you need
I'll know what you feel
I'm not what you want
But I can make believe
I′ll dream of you and me
Building castles by the sea
I know you won′t believe a single thing
So keep on listening
To the words I sing
A simple melody to forget everything
I'll let you know that
I′ll keep you safe when you're afraid
I′ll guide you through the dark when you can't see a thing
So keep on listening
(So keep on listening)
Say what you want
I know It′s hard
You got what you got
And not what you deserved
So keep on listening
To the words I sing
A simple melody to forget everything
I'll let you know that
I'll keep you safe when you′re afraid
I′ll guide you through the dark when you can't see a thing
So keep on listening
Sing with me softly
Until you remember
And never forget that it can only get better
Sing with me softly
Until you remember
And never forget that it can only get better
