[Verse 1] If you're listening, whoa Sing it back, whoa String from your tether unwinds, whoa, whoa oh Up and outward to bind, whoa, whoa [Chorus] I was spinning free, whoa With a little sweet and simple numbing me [Verse 2] Are you listening? Whoa Sing it back, whoa So, tell me what do I need, whoa, whoa When words lose their meaning, whoa, whoa [Chorus] I was spinning free, whoa With a little sweet and simple numbing me, yeah Stumble 'til you crawl, whoa Sinking into sweet uncertainty [Interlude] Are you listening? Are you listening? [Verse 3] If you're listening, whoa (If you're listening, are you listening?) Sing it back, whoa (If you're listening, are you listening?) And I'm still running away, whoa, whoa oh Won't play your hide and seek game, whoa, whoa [Chorus] I was spinning free, whoa With a little sweet and simple numbing me What a dizzy dance, whoa And the sweetness will not be concerned with me [Outro] No, the sweetness will not be concerned with me No, the sweetness will not be concerned with me
