{Verse 1} I didn't hear you enter but I know you have been circling my room I listen for your footsteps, close my eyes and wait for you to move You're hiding like a memory, teasing like a girl I used to know You're tumbling and gamboling, calling to the weakness in my soul {Chorus} Telling me to speak {Verse 2} And in one reckless moment you move a little too close to my ear I grab a hold with both hands and scramble to make sense of what I hear I try to tie you down with synonyms and sad piano sounds For a moment you surrender, one moment we both stand on the same ground {Chorus} And I begin to speak {Verse 3} And all at once you pull away but I'm lost within your atmosphere As quickly as you found me I panic as you try to disappear I reach out with my fingers and try to pull the letters back in line Your words spin out of order and the pounding in my chest is out of time {Chorus} And I just want to speak
Amazing voice... And thankyou for singing in your natural accent, your inspiring on so many levels... A true original artist, I hope I can sing in my Australian accent as confident as you can... Beautiful and amazing !! More more more please!!
Ben, that was amazing. I haven't listened to you in a while, but I'm glad I have again, finally. Thank goodness for TH-cam, allowing me access to musicians like you from Australia. (from Menlo Park , California, USA).
Lyrics: I didn’t hear you enter But I know you have been circling my room I listen for your footsteps Close my eyes and wait for you to move You’re hiding like a memory Teasing like a girl I used to know Tumbling and gamboling Calling to the weakness in my soul Telling me to speak In one reckless moment You move a little too close to my ears I grab a hold with both hands And scramble to make sense of what I hear I try to tie you down With synonyms and sad piano sounds For a moment you surrender One moment we both stand on the same ground And I begin to speak I begin to say something And all at once you pull away I’m lost within your atmosphere As quickly as you found me I panic as you try to disappear I reach out with my fingers And try to pull the letters back in line But your words spin out of order And the pounding in my chest is out of time But I just want to speak I just want to say something I just want to speak I just want to say something Can anybody hear me?
I crush rocks for a living, but this still made me cry
I was at that gig! It was absolutely amazing. Ben has done it again! :D
Where words fail, the voice speaks...❤
Goose bumps. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world
{Verse 1}
I didn't hear you enter but I know you have been circling my room
I listen for your footsteps, close my eyes and wait for you to move
You're hiding like a memory, teasing like a girl I used to know
You're tumbling and gamboling, calling to the weakness in my soul
{Chorus}
Telling me to speak
{Verse 2}
And in one reckless moment you move a little too close to my ear
I grab a hold with both hands and scramble to make sense of what I hear
I try to tie you down with synonyms and sad piano sounds
For a moment you surrender, one moment we both stand on the same ground
{Chorus}
And I begin to speak
{Verse 3}
And all at once you pull away but I'm lost within your atmosphere
As quickly as you found me I panic as you try to disappear
I reach out with my fingers and try to pull the letters back in line
Your words spin out of order and the pounding in my chest is out of time
{Chorus}
And I just want to speak
I am completely obsessed with your music. It's all I've been listening to since I found you last week. I've sent your music to a lot of my friends too

Lyrics:
I didn’t hear you enter
But I know you have been circling my room
I listen for your footsteps
Close my eyes and wait for you to move
You’re hiding like a memory
Teasing like a girl I used to know
Tumbling and gamboling
Calling to the weakness in my soul
Telling me to speak
In one reckless moment
You move a little too close to my ears
I grab a hold with both hands
And scramble to make sense of what I hear
I try to tie you down
With synonyms and sad piano sounds
For a moment you surrender
One moment we both stand on the same ground
And I begin to speak
I begin to say something
And all at once you pull away
I’m lost within your atmosphere
As quickly as you found me
I panic as you try to disappear
I reach out with my fingers
And try to pull the letters back in line
But your words spin out of order
And the pounding in my chest is out of time
But I just want to speak
I just want to say something
I just want to speak
I just want to say something
Can anybody hear me?
Omg! I think I love you! I've been searching for the lyrics for a while now. Thank you!!
