Which one are you afraid of, noise or peace?
Which one are you avoiding, loneliness or a crowd?
Why are you crying, when someone's baby is laughing next door?
You're deep water, an unreachable mountain
A forgotten attic, you're a titanic cover
Why are you crying, when someone's baby is laughing next door?
Why are you crying, when there's someone singing about love on the radio?
Speak with a voice I can hear,
with the words I understand,
with the poems I get
You need subtitles on you,
something to explain your secrets,
an all-knowing narrator
Speak with a voice I can hear
I'm simple, always wanting for explanations
You're a complicated map, a trip in foreign lands
Why are you crying, when there's someone singing about love on the radio?
Speak with a voice I can hear,
with the words I understand,
with the poems I get
You need subtitles on you,
something to explain your secrets,
an all-knowing narrator
Speak with a voice I can hear
