Listen to Me

Story Behind The Song

People who are "fixers" find satisfaction out of taking action. But sometimes all your partner wants is to be heard. This song appeared to me and once the phrase "I don't need you to fix it" emerged, the theme of the song was obvious so it basically wrote itself. Love when that happens!

Lyrics

V1: Listen to me for a minute
I don't need you to fix
I need you to know
That we can't rewrite our history
But we can make our future what we want it to be
If you just listen to me, we'll get by

V2: Listen to me for a minute
You don't need to get in it
You need to lay back
And enjoy what life is offering you
A chance to do what you want to do
With the one who means the most to you - just try

Cho: Listen to me - hear what I say
Don't let your pride get in your way
Let down your guard and let's get to it
I know it's hard but you can do it
Listen to me

V3: Listen to me for a minute
If we're going to begin it
Let's start it right now
With a promise to be honest and fair
All with tender loving care
We'll make such an awesome pair - you and I
