I Listened Lyrics

Last night when I walked into your house I noticed that the couch had moved

And I wanted to ask you about it

But you were talking so when you finished I opened up my mouth

And you called me out for being bad at listening

So I wrote this song to tell ya just how well that I can listen

And that I think that you are really cute

And I thought that maybe I should wait to tell you that I like you but

I don't really have that much to lose

And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar

And I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your attention

And I don't know your favorite song but it's probably by Mars Volta cause you said you really like them when we Talked and I listened

Yeah I listened

So this morning when I woke up in my bed I made a list of all the things you told me last night that I had inside my Head

Like that yellow is your favorite because it's a happy color

And that you have been sad for as long as you remember

And that the way your kitchen looked made you upset because it was a mess and that's the way things look when You're depressed

And you sat across the room on that rocking chair you said you hate cause it is so loud and I wished that you had Sat next to me on the couch

And I'm scared that this list is too long

That I can't fit all these things into a song

And still keep your attention

So I'm trying hard to mention some important things that I feel will really demonstrate

Just how well that I listened

Like how you said with tears in your eyes that you wish that being grateful was enough to keep you from feeling Sad all the time

And that your favorite flowers are impatiens

And that when you love somebody you wait

Patiently for them

And that your favorite movie is the Shawshank Redemption

And that serenity means listening to the water down at Tucquan Glenn

And how you make poor decisions with the people that you choose to date

And you'll probably think I'm crazy for this

And I'd tell you that I don't give a shit but that would be a lie because I Care

What you think about me

And I just really, desperately want to be your next poor decision

Be your next poor decision

Be your next poor decision

And I could learn your favorite song and play it on my guitar

And I'll probably sing it all wrong but it might catch your affection and

I don't know your favorite song but it might be by Mars Volta

Cause you said you really liked them when we talked

And I listened

Yea, I listened
