We Can Only Listen

Nothing's working for me today
 Maybe I'll go for a walk in the rain
 I'm soaking wet but my heart's on fire
 I can't show it but I'm all desire
 Fox in throat, hand in sleeve
 We try and ask for what we need
 Getting lost in all the one way streets
 Keep on walking until we meet
 I never know just what to say
 I only remember when you walk away
 Word in hand and rubber lips
 We let it fall from our fingertips
 We cannot choose the ones we love
 When our hearts they speak so loudly
 Would it be easier beneath the sun
 Where apples fall and rivers run
 And I'd be lying there next to you
 In the silence it all comes through
 And then we wouldn't have to speak
 All you'd hear is my heart-beat
 We cannot choose the ones we love
 When our hearts they speak so loudly
