Hatfield Juliana This Is The Sound lyrics

Hatfield Juliana
Become What You Are
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.

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.
