Hear Me by H. L. Muller

Joel:
A blind date, a chance meeting, a girl I watched runaway from me.
An opening act, a year on tour, a duet requested to be written.
All things that cause me joy, cause me pain, and have me twisted up in knots.
A wall I built up, to protect me from her. A tension I cannot shake, can’t ignore, can’t move on from.
I can survive this, survive the storm that is her.

Alintia:
An irritable man, an asshole, a guy out to ruin my life.
A record deal, a breakthrough tour, a band rising through the charts.
The cause of my happiness, the cause of my discomfort, and has me feeling exiled from the tour.
A song to be written about a love I have never experienced, a duet with the man who has made my life hell.
An attraction I cannot restrain, no matter how awful he appears to be.
I know it’s an act, but I don’t know why he is trying to protect himself from me.
