The Sound Check Song

This is a sound check

This is where we check the sound

Of complex explanations for the tragedies in which we drown

This is a sound check



I can hear my resolve snap as our bodies bend

I don't think I could tell you where I wanted this to end

Trying hard not to think of anything but her skin

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes,

at the moment I'm just cashing mine in



Close my eyes and find a groove

Let myself go, begin to move

The further I drift away from shore

All I want is more



She's asking me if I want to stop,

but the last thing that I want to do is talk

About what it is that I really want and why

There's a pain in my chest that's beginning to burn like sin

And I'm beginning to wonder if we're ever gonna get out

of the mess we're in



Close my eyes and find a groove

Let myself go, begin to move

The further I drift away from shore

All I want is more



You don't have to testify

When no one ever asks you why

It's not hard to justify

When you've never told a lie



This is a sound check

It's where we check the sound

Of justifications and apologies so profound

This is a sound check





This is a sound check

This is where we check the sound

Of complex explanations for the tragedies in which we drown

Thanks for coming to the sound check
