This Is The Sound

Up above the floor so high

A reflection in his eye

Fell in love again last night

Had a chance but I got stage-fright



I can't dance in front of you

I never used these dancing shoes

They won't even go up stairs

Take me up to meet you there



This is the sound

Of a tree falling down

Like me giving up

To the ground

is the sound

Of a wave breaking down

To be all washed up



I can't think of things to say

Would if I could find a way

Grab something and hold it tight

Even if it's just one night



Why are simple things so hard?

Nothing ever goes too far

I roll it over in my mind

For the hundred-thousandth time



This is the sound

Of a tree falling down

Like me giving up

To the ground

is the sound

Of a wave crashing down

To be all washed up

Bridge!



Up above the town so high

Watching gasses in the sky

I can't stop thinking of that guy

How do you can't see smog at night



I don't even know his name

But if it's ever gonna rain

Will it ever be the same?

Will he come back here again?



This is the sound

Of a tree falling down

Like me giving up

To the ground

is the sound

Of a wave breaking down

To be all washed up
