Stop, Look and Listen - Belle and Sebastian

I finally gave myself the time to see you
I finally gave myself the time to see you
I finally gave myself the time to see you for a while

If only we could see past the veneer
We'd see another side of you

Simone said she would think about not seeing me
Simone said she would think about not seeing me
Simone said she would think about not seeing me for a while

I hung around with her for forty days and forty nights
It was a wilderness

If only you would stop look and listen
If only you would stop look and listen
If only you would stop look and listen you'd be fine

But being deaf and being blind
Just seems to be the way you spend your time

Being alone it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone it's not a problem when I think of you
Your words are true and all I do is dream
Spent summer in the city of my childhood
Spent summer in the city of my childhood
Spent summer in the city of my childhood for old times

But there's no going back for me
The faces had all changed I was a stranger

Being alone it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone it's not a problem when I think of you
Your words are true and all I do is dream
If only we could see past the veneer
We'd see another side of you

I live alone the silence
It can take you
I live alone the silence
It can make you
I live alone the silence
It can break you after a while

Not long ago I made a deal
The ghosts around the house all seem to like me

My life is falling down I am surrounded

My life is falling down I am confounded
My life is falling down I am dumbfounded
What a mess

So I lay back silent as a cat
And let you work your mysteries of healing

Being alone it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone it's not a problem when I think of you
Your words are true and all I do is
Think of you your words are true and all I do is
Think of you your words are true and all I do is dream
If only we could see past the veneer
We'd see another side of you
