I Cannot Hear the City

I cannot hear the city
I cannot hear a sound
The roar and rush become a hush
Whenever you’re around
The world beyond the window
The fury and the fuss
Grow distant now
And fade somehow with us
And here inside this world you’ve let me see
It’s simpler than we often let it be
I’ll keep you safe and also set you free
I offer you you
I offer you me
I cannot hear the city
I know it must be there
The raging town is waiting down the stair
We’ll make it vanish
In the thin, thin air
And here inside this world you’ve let me see
It’s simpler than we often let it be
I’ll keep you safe and also set you free
I offer you you
I offer you me
I cannot hear the city
I know it must be there
The raging town is waiting down the stair
We’ll make it vanish
In the thin, thin air
We’ll make it vanish
In the thin, thin air
