"Down To The Sound" lyrics
"Down To The Sound"
In my pockets of memories where I keep my change
There's no notion of order, it's hard to arrange
It won't bear inspection, there's nothing to see
Chaotic collections of symbols of me
It all comes down to the sound
And when you can't find the key
Spin it around on the common ground
Till it sounds like me
And when it sounds like me, I almost hear my name
It seems like a picture slipping out of its frame
It takes most of your wishes to make it come true
They're mostly for free but you pay for a few
It all comes down to the sound
It's something longing to be
It spins around in the lost and found
Till we learn to see
We learn to see
And when we learn to see, there's no big surprise
It's always been there, so you open your eyes
And you take it for granted, it's the way it should be
Then you turn out the light and find you still have the key
'Cause it all comes down to the sound
Tears the heart out of me
Spins you around till the chains fall down
And they set you free
They set you free
They set you free
