"Are you boring or needing some fun...?"
Are you feeling relaxed when you tell me that I'm cool
Are you hungry for a change when you call me a fool
Are you needing some rest when you say I'm too up beat
Are you wanting to sleep when you say that I'm on heat.
When you say that I'm boring, I hear you need some fun
When you shout "you're slow", do you really want to run
You say I don't listen, I hear your need to be heard
I go looking for the needs hidden in between the words
Chorus:
(Just) Listen for the needs
Listen for the needs
Listen for the needs
Hidden in between the words
Listen for the needs
Listen for the needs
When you say I'm lazy, are you needing some support?
And when you say I'm bad I know I cannot be at fault
You can say I'm mean, I hear your needing love and care
By stripping down the words and laying what you're needing bare
Chorus:
Listen for the needs
Listen for the needs
Listen for the needs
Hidden in between the words
(I can) Listen for the needs
Listen for the needs
Oh yeah
They're always here, among the thorns
Hidden in opinions, our ideas and norms.
They're lying low, in the complex maze
Hidden in our haste and our habitual ways.
Just listen...
(Instrumental)
Ohh
Let's strip down the words and lay what we are needing bare...
Oh yeah
Chorus:
Listen for the needs
Listen for the needs
Listen for the needs
Hidden in between the words
Listen for the needs
Listen
