listen up lyrics

She said I'm out of place
And asked me what I'm doing here, whoa
From the look in her eyes I knew it was clear, whoa
That I was gonna be in for the ride of my life
I'd better hold on if I want to survive because, oh
This could take the best of me

So listen up, listen up, so we both know
The seconds pass while you're gone, time moves so slow
I didn't want it to end up like this
But I don't wait, I always just let it go

You know I won't forget the way that you looked that night
When I tried to understand
Why those sunglasses always hide your eyes
But don't worry girl 'cause you're never alone
I'll be with you 'til that morning comes
But then oh, this will take the best of me

So listen up, listen up, so we both know
The seconds pass while you're gone, time moves so slow
I didn't want it to end up like this
But I don't wait, I always just let it go

So listen up, listen up, so we both know
The seconds pass while you're gone, time moves so slow
I didn't want it to end up like this
But I don't wait, I always just let it go, just let it go

I swore I'd never come back to this place now
Unless you're ready for me to leave again
I swore I'd never step foot inside this house
Unless you're ready for me to stay around

I swore I'd never come back to this place now
Unless you're ready for me to leave again
I swore I'd never step foot inside this house
Unless you're ready for me to stay around

So listen up, listen up, so we both know
The seconds pass while you're gone, time moves so slow
I didn't want it to end up like this
But I don't wait, I always just let it go

So listen up, listen up, so we both know
The seconds pass while you're gone, time moves so slow
I didn't want it to end up like this
But I don't wait, I always just let it go
Oh, this could take the best of me
