Hearing Voices Lyrics
Start
I'ma start with this
Just a single thought followed by words
I hope I don't miss
Miss anything
Write you a letter, but it's better that you hear me
I suppose I could sing
Write a song to share the meaning
Of the love for you I'm feeling
People saying what they will
I don't care
[Chorus]
I'm hearing voices all around
I'm hearing voices calling out
What would they say?
What would it change?
I'm hearing voices all around
I'm hearing voices making sounds
What would they take?
What would they say to me?
If I was, I was listening
[Verse 2]
Catch my twenty-two
I'd gladly give it to somebody
'Cause I only wanna be with you
I'm lost in your love
I start to drown and you go and pull me up
Don't you listen to what they say
I'm hearing voices all around
I'm hearing voices calling out
What would they say?
What would it change?
I'm hearing voices all around
I'm hearing voices making sounds
What would they take?
What would they say to me?
If I was listening
[Outro]
Oh, come here
There's something I should tell you
Now, don't fear
'Cause I'm going no where
Voices all around
I'm hearing voices
What would they say?
What would they say?
I'm hearing voices
Voices
Oh
Voices all around
I'm hearing voices all around
About
A bonus track only available from Target on OneRepublic’s debut album, Dreaming Out Loud, this song addresses the issue of gossipers and naysayers getting in the way of a relationship.
The voices singer Ryan Tedder hears are not in his head; they are the voices of friends and relatives, both his and hers, telling him that he should leave, that things aren’t working out between them, trying to put thoughts in his head and discourage him.
He remains steadfast in his determination to stay, however, reassuring his worried girlfriend that he isn’t leaving, even though things aren’t always easy between them.
He hears the constant, nagging voices, but he refuses to listen to them and break it up.
