Hatfield Juliana This Is The Sound Lyrics

This Is The Sound Lyrics

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.



Oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh!



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.



Oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh!

This... is the sound

Of a tree... falling down.

Like me... giving up

To the ground... it's 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.



Oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh!



Why are simple things so hard?

Nothing ever goes too far.

I roll it over in my mind

For the hundred-thousandth time.



Oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh!

This... is the sound

Of a tree... falling down.

Like me... giving up

To the ground... it's 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 you can't see [smog] at night.



Oooh, oooh. Oooh, oooh!



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... it's the sound

Of a wave... breaking down

To be... all washed up
