Lyrics Listen Up - Nicole Atkins

Sometimes I feel
Like I ruined everything
Sometimes I feel
Like I'm slippin', slippin', oh-oh
The way my brain and body
Reacts to every memory
Sometimes I feel
Like I'm slippin', slippin', oh-oh
I
Should have listened up when I was young
But I always talked too much (too much)
Or drunk on some bed of hard times
(You gotta make mistakes to know)
Takes mistakes to grow
And now I know
You gotta listen uh-uh-up
(You gotta listen uh uh uh up)
Oh, listen up
When life got real, when life got real
I didn't know if I could handle it
Too many opinions
I don't wanna listen
But when my brain and body
Holds on to every memory
I need your help
So please advise
Oh, I
Should have listened up when I was young
But I always talked too much (too much)
Or drunk on some bed of hard times
(You gotta make mistakes to know)
It takes mistakes to grow
And now I know
You gotta listen uh-uh-up
(You gotta listen uh uh uh up)
Oh, listen up
When I'm broken
When I'm stuck
Then I know
I gotta listen up
When I'm lost
When I'm in a rut
(Then I know)
I gotta listen up
When I'm broken
When I'm stuck
Then I know
I gotta listen up
When I'm broken (ooh)
When I'm stuck (ooh)
Ohhh
I
Should have listened up when I was young
But I always talked too much (too much)
Or drunk on some bed of hard times
(You gotta make mistakes to know)
Takes mistakes to grow
And now I know
(And now I know)
And now I know
(And now I know)
And now I know
When I gotta listen up
