"Pause" lyrics

I've been trying to tell you
Everything you need to hear
But my words seem to hollow out
Before they reach your ears
Though I know you too have things to say
That much is clear
Oh must you interfere?

Now I know there's not an evil bone inside you
I know that that's true
But there are things I've said many times now that aren't getting through
If we can't listen to one another what good am I to you
I know one thing we can do

How about we try and take a pause
A little time away to help the cause
How about we try and take a pause here

I wanna give you everything
Everything you say you need
But to talk over each other we know quite well
Where that leads
Let's change the way this goes
Let's plant a seed
It might grow like a weed

How about we try and take a pause
A little time away to help the cause
How about we try and take a pause here
How about we let the fire die
Leave our emotions there to lie
How about we let the fire die now

How about we try and take a pause
A little time away to help the cause
How about we try and take a pause here
How about we let the fire die
Leave our emotions there to lie, my love
How about we let the fire die now
