David William Breidenthal Poet Lyric

Listen Up

Trapped in captivity
Stirred up in vanity
Your memory overlaps my own

Hello, hello, hello
Is it the wrong time to speak to me?
Hello, hello, hello
How are you doing lately?
I will listen up!

Hello, hello, hello
Is it the wrong time to speak to you?
Hello, hello, hello
I know some of the things you’ve been through
But, not all...I can’t unfortunately
Give me a call...you’re loved unconditionally
Before your free-fall...you grow so graciously
Give me a call...you’re loved unconditionally
I will listen up!

The moment you hung up the phone
I’ve been low and then so high
You traded me with someone new, can’t deny

Hello, hello, hello
Is it the wrong time to speak to me?
Hello, hello, hello
How are you doing lately?
I will listen up!

Hello, hello, hello
Is it the wrong time to speak to you?
Hello, hello, hello
I know some of the things you’ve been through
But, not all...I can’t unfortunately
Give me a call...you’re loved unconditionally
Before your free-fall...you grow so graciously
Give me a call...you’re loved unconditionally
I will listen up!

Snapped in rebelliousness
Unsure of the consequences
Your heartbeat mends my own

Hello, hello, hello
Is it the wrong time to speak to me?
Hello, hello, hello
How are you doing lately?
I will listen up!

Hello, hello, hello
Is it the wrong time to speak to you?
Hello, hello, hello
I know some of the things you’ve been through
But, not all...I can’t unfortunately
Give me a call...you’re loved unconditionally
Before your free-fall...you grow so graciously
Give me a call...you’re loved unconditionally
I will listen up!

The moment you sung your melody all alone,
I’ve been low and then so high on my own
Our love - it is so unbearable
Our love - it is so unstable
Look towards Above
His love - listen up, my love...listen up, my love
You’re my lover so divine...looking so fine...
You’re like a captive dove that I’ve dreamt of - It must’ve been some sort of serene sign
