Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Like a freeze dried rose, you will never be
What you were, what were to me in memory
But if I listen to the dark, you'll embrace me like a star
Envelop me, envelop me
[Verse 2]
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me to before you went away, if only for a day
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me back to the tune we played before you went away
[Verse 3]
And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
Yeah if I listen to the sound of white
You're my mystery, one mystery, my mystery, one mystery
[Verse 4]
My silence solidifies until that hollow void erases you
Erases you so I can't feel at all
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness
Will end the painful dream of you and me
[Verse 5]
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me to before you went away, if only for a day
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me back to the tune we played before you went away
[Verse 6]
And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
And if I listen to the sound of white
[Verse 7]
I knelt before some stranger's face
Well, I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place
But I dropped my head, 'cause it felt like lead
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair
[Verse 8]
And if I listen to the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile and breathe your light
Yeah, if I listen to the sound of white
The sound of white
The sound of white
The sound of white
