lyrics

i’m gonna ruin my ears with all this dreaming
gonna ruin my mind with all this scheming
i’ve got no place to put it in play
i’ve got no one in the stands at the game

but listen, listen
to the sound of toothless wishing
listen, listen to me
cause I don’t know if I might be able
to tell you this again sometime…

i’ve got wars blowing up my headphones
and your voice gliding around my head
so let me get you on the phone to tell you
something that I’ve never told to no one

that I’ve made mistakes
I took an easy way
I lost my gusto
I made it this way…

but listen, listen
to the sound of toothless wishing
listen, listen to me
cause I don’t know if I might be able
to tell you this again sometime…
