Attention Songtext
von Jimmy Barnes

We don′t seem to talk much anymore
It's getting too hard to ignore
Silence taken place of the words before

If I′d only paid attention
If I'd only heard the call
Even with my good intentions
And somehow I still let you fall

Well, maybe now you'll have to face the truth
Well the writings there for the world to see, hey yeah now
We could be strangers starting out anew

If you′d only paid attention
Instead of waiting for the past (yeah, yeah)
We had it all in our possession, yeah
Still we didn′t make it last


Maybe we could wash it all away
Just like footprints in the sand
If we could only start it all again
Find a way they'd understand

Could have found a way baby

If we′d only paid attention
There was truth between the lies, yeah
We were trying to find perfection
Instead of letting love be blind, yeah yeah

And nothing's gonna last forever, oh no, yeah
Let′s just never start be gone now, yeah yeah, yeah
We couldn't sail through stormy weather
Stealing time to touch the sun

And if we′d only paid attention (if we only, yeah yeah) yeah
If we'd only paid attention (sometimes I could be lonely)
If only
If only
If only only only (baby, baby, baby, baby, baby) baby, baby, baby
If we'd only paid attention, yeah
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if we paid attention
Yeah, yeah, oh baby, yeah yeah yeah, say baby, baby...
