I guess I'll forget the sound (I guess, I guess)

Dear when I touch your face

I can no longer hear

The sound of a million hearts

Beating together as one

And when the night is gone

And when the dawn has come

I will take the daylight on

My cheeks will dry off in the sun

Though my heart once was broke, it's been mended

And the sting of the fracture has ended

But still the sound of the hearts that are breaking

And boots that are knocking pervades

Before the day that I first touched your face

Oh, the roar of these things filled my ears

Then I embraced you and (made partly deaf)

I could just hear our breath as we breathed

Up 'til that day I could hear them

And the sound as they broke, it was fearsome

That was until your arms opened up wide

And the treasure therein was made mine

There is a noise that is taking their place

In the hollow of my inner ear

It is far more than the sum of its parts

A white noise as warm as the sun

Now that I've found you dear

Their plight has lost immediacy

And now that I've touched your face

The noise fades from memory

I guess we'll forget the sound

I guess, I guess

My cheeks will dry off in

The sun, the sun

I guess we'll forget the sound

I guess, I guess
