20 Elephants (Live at the Green Room)

I spend so much time
Wishing you would talk directly
And not just assume that all your codes are going through

I spent so much energy
Wishing that you would direct me
Into doing what you want me desperately to do

There's twenty elephants in every room of this house
There's fifty million things that no one is willing to talk about

Why don't you tell me what you need to tell me?
Why don't you tell me what you need to tell me?
Why don't you tell me what you need to tell me?

How come I always hear from somebody else
The way you really feel about the things I choose to do?

How come I never see the words leaving your mouth
All I ever get is a reflection of the truth

There's twenty elephants in every room of this house
There's fifty million things that no one is willing to talk about

Why don't you tell me what you need to tell me?
Why don't you tell me what you need to tell me?
Why don't you tell me what you need to tell me?

Is honesty that scary?
Or is it you you fear?
You know you can be genuine with everybody here

We need to be more open
'Cause what are we if not?
If everything collapses and just... stops

There's twenty elephants in every room of this house
There's fifty million things that no one is willing to talk about

Why don't you tell me what you need to tell me?
Why don't you tell me what you need to tell me?
Why don't you tell me what you need to tell me?

Is honesty that scary?
Or is it you you fear?
You know you can be genuine with everybody here

We need to be more open
'Cause what are we if not?
'Cause what are we if not?
'Cause what are we if not?
