I want to be with you 
I want to be clear 
but each time I try 
it's the voice I hear 
I hear that voice again 
  
I'm listening to the conversation 
judge and jury in my head 
it's colouring everything 
all we did and said 
and still I head that sharp tongue talking 
talking tangled words 
I can sense the danger 
just listen to the wind 
  
I want you close I want you near 
I can't help but listen 
but I don't want to hear 
hear that voice again 
  
I want to be with you 
I want to be clear 
but each time I try 
it's the voice I hear 
I hear that voice again 
  
I'm hearing right and wrong so clearly 
there must be more than this 
it's only in uncertainty 
that we're naked and alive 
I hear it through the rattle of a streetcar 
hear it through the things you said 
I can get so scared 
listen to the wind 
  
I want you close I want you near 
I can't help but listen 
but I don't want to hear 
hear that voice again 
  
what I carry in my heart 
brings us so close or so far apart 
only love can make love 
  
I want you close I want you near 
I can't help but listen 
but I don't want to hear 
I hear that voice again 
  
I want to be with you 
I want to be clear 
but each time I try 
it's the voice I hear 
I hear that voice again
