There''s a tomcat in the alley scarin'' up a fight
There''s a mother softly kissing her little one goodnight
There''s peace and then there''s chaos, reality and dreams
We''re all trying to strike a balance between a whisper and a scream

Sometimes I need atttention when you need left alone
Sometimes you feel like clinging when I feel like being gone
But love me soft and tender and we''ll make the rafters ring
As long as we meet somewhere between a whisper and a scream

Well, I know you''ll be listening
And you know I''ll be there
Between a whisper and a scream we''ll find a prayer
Well I used to blow up easy and put my fist right through a wall

You were shut down like a holiday not feeling much at all
But we met there at the crossroad goin'' to extremes
Thank God we found each other between a whisper and a scream
Somehow we found each other between a whisper and a scream
