"What You Want To Hear" lyrics

"What You Want To Hear"

Long night
Caught up in the details
Texts and calls and emails from my broken friends
Long time
Since I thought I could fix them
Now everything is mixed up and it never ends
Ooh, call up everyone I know and tell them
I love them and their problems
Hey, are we all as lonely as we say?
Is a phone call all it takes?
Why don't you tell me what you want?

Nine to five in a nightmare, we're not scared
We're bigger than the fear
Run away with me somewhere, anywhere
I'll tell you what you want to hear
(What you want, what you want, what you want)
I'll tell you what you want to hear
(What you want, what you want, what you want)
I'll tell you what you want to hear

Hold tight
To you when you were younger
You felt like going under but you never did
We could drive
And scream at empty streets
Put our song on repeat, it's like it never ends
Ooh, water in the middle of the desert
A glimpse of something better
Hey, we will grow no matter where you plant us
Color every canvas
Why don't you tell me what you want?

Nine to five in a nightmare, we're not scared
We're bigger than the fear
Run away with me somewhere, anywhere
I'll tell you what you want to hear
(What you want, what you want, what you want)
I'll tell you what you want to hear
(What you want, what you want, what you want)
I'll tell you what you want to hear

I know what you want but not what you need
So why did you go and put your trust in me?
I know what you want but not what you need
So why did you go and put your trust in me?
I know what you want but not what you need
So why did you go and put your trust in me?
I know what you want but not what you need
So why did you go and put your trust in me?

Nine to five in a nightmare, we're not scared
We're bigger than the fear
Run away with me somewhere, anywhere
I'll tell you what you want to hear

Nine to five in a nightmare, we're not scared
We're bigger than the fear
Run away with me somewhere, anywhere
I'll tell you what you want to hear
(What you want, what you want, what you want)
I'll tell you what you want to hear
(What you want, what you want, what you want)
I'll tell you what you want to hear
