The Only Sounds

Weight of the world's on my shoulders

Like I've never known before

And the winter winds blowing colder

And I just can't take anymore

Feel I'm running down a dead end street

Trying to change my direction

All my troubles weighing hard on me

It brings me down, down, down

The only sounds I wanna hear,

Is the music of the ocean

And the rhythm of you breathing in my ear

As we drift away

And the only sight I wanna see

Is the light of your emotion

And the look of love from you to me

As the night turns into day

Noise in my head, getting louder

and it's spinning me around

something's tugging at my sleeve now,

trying to tell me

That I'm to high off the ground

I can't explain it to myself

I fear I'm gonna drown (fear I'm gonna drown)

Standing out here in the pouring rain

I'm going down, down, down

The only sounds I wanna hear,

Is the music of the ocean

And the rhythm of you breathing in my ear

As we drift away

And the only sight I wanna see

Is the light of your emotion

And the look of love from you to me

As the night turns into day

So whisper words, so soft and low

The words of love that heal

And ease my soul

The only sounds I wanna hear,

Is the music of the ocean

And the rhythm of you breathing in my ear

As we drift away

And the only sight I wanna see

Is the light of your emotion

And the look of love from you to me

As the night turns into day

Only us drift away

So far away

Drifting away

So far away

Drifting away

Drift away, away, away, away, away, away
