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

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 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

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
How do you can't see smog at night

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
Is the sound
Of a wave breaking down
To be all washed up
