"Sounds" lyrics

Sounds that travel through the air
Sounds you never knew were there
Sounds just like you asking me how I've been
I can almost hear myself underplaying
Sounds like you telling yourself you're gonna be fine, fine, fine

Sounds like I am going to lose something very dear to me
If not now, then eventually
Sounds like I remember, soon to be a memory
Sounds like you telling yourself you're gonna be fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine

It's the worm in the ground
That my mother said the birds hear
It's the voice of my boy
And one day I thought I'd hear it breaking
There's a million things I can't put my fingers on
But it sounds like something I'll miss when it's gone

Sounds like the pen tapping the skin
Of the doctors' knuckles, waiting, waiting
For you to stop crying
But it's the first time someone listened

Sounds like your love for me, that love might carry me
It vibrates through my soul, through it all, open door
With just my hand to hold, it needs no more
Sounds like you telling yourself you're gonna be fine, fine, fine, fine, fine, fine

It's the worm in the ground
That my mother said the birds hear
It's the voice of my boy
And one day I thought I'd hear it breaking
There's a million things I can't put my fingers on
But it sounds like something I'll miss when it's gone
