作词 : Ben Cooper 作曲 : Ben Cooper The Mute - Radical Face Well as a child I mostly spoke inside my head
I had conversations with the clouds the dogs the dead
And they thought my broken that my tongue was coated lead But I just couldn't make my words make sense to them
If you only listen with your ears I can't get in
And I spent my evenings pulling stars out of the sky
And I'd arrange them on the lawn where I would lie
And in the wind I'd taste the dreams of distant lives And I would dress myself up in them through the night
While my folks would sleep in separate beds and wonder why
And through them days I was a ghost atop my chair
My dad considered me a cross he had to bear
And in my head I'd sing apologies and stare As my mom would hang the clothes across the line
And she would try to keep the empty from her eyes
So then one afternoon I dressed myself alone
I packed my pillowcase with everything I owned
And in my head I said goodbye then I was gone And I set out on the heels of the unknown
So my folks could have a new life of their own So that maybe I could find someone Who could hear the only words that I'd known
