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
