Story Behind The Song

Lyrics
Not Listening
Vs
If I were a fly your find me on your wall
Id know how to catch you catch you when you fall
If I were a rainbow my colours would shine bright
So You'd find your way to the pot of gold you left behind
Pre -Chorus
But when you talk, you talk words, words you chose to speak
What comes out of your mouth means nothing to me
Don't think for one more second I'll b listening, b listening, b listening
I'd go
Chorus
Lalalallalalalallall
I wish that everything you said to me wasn't a lie
Lalallaalllalla
And I'll think happy thoughts I won't lose a wink tonight.
Vs
If I were a light I'd give it to you
So you can see your way clear to dream anything you want to
It's not a perfect world and it don't make sense to me
Why you'd always take the hard road, this is the end for you and me
Solo
Pre Chorus
Cause when you talk, you talk words, words you chose to speak
It's just another lie and you've disappointed me
Don't think for one more second I'll be listening, b listening, b listening
Chorus Lalalallalalalallall
I wish that everything you said to me wasn't a lie
Lalallaalllalla
And I'll think happy thoughts I won't lose a wink tonight.
