Lyrics

I am afraid to lose my hearing
I am not afraid of change
I run toward it
I am afraid to stay the same

I was so scared I wouldn’t hear my babies
Crying in the night
Now they’ve grown older
They don’t do that anymore

When I lie in bed, right ear pressed to my pillow
I don’t hear you when you say
“I love you.”

I walk around wide eyed and strain to hear
The things that I will miss
When they’re gone
Try to take in more

Try to see more, try to smell more
Try to feel more, try to hear more
I want more and I’m afraid
I want more and I’m afraid

When I lie in bed, right ear pressed to my pillow
I don’t hear you when you say
“I love you.”

I don’t hear you when you say “I love you.”

I love you.
