Lyrics for 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 Oh, I'm listening to the conversation Judge and jury in my head It's colouring everything All we did and said And still I hear that sharp tongue talking Talking tangled words I can sense the danger Just listen to the wind I want you close I want you here 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 Oh, 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 here 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 here 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
