Hatfield Juliana - 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
