"This Is The Sound" lyrics - JULIANA HATFIELD

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
Beaking 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
And how you can't see smog at night

I don't even know his name
Or 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
