A Sound Rings True ft. Børge Sildnes Lyrics

As the weekend slowly turns

Into something that could be long term

All I need is an inspiring word

Blow the dust off from a book

I only bought because of how it looked

And some reviews that made me feel I should

I put a record on, a forgotten song

I used to listen to when I was young

And then a sound rings true

And all that I want to do

Is pick up the phone

And tell you how much it could mean to you

If only you heard it too

If I could play it just for you

You'd feel that groove

Hear that voice

See that view

As the winter seems to end

Before it started (I can make no sense

Of how the seasons change)

I put my running shoes back on

The Hokas that I haven't worn

Since I bought them online last fall

I take my headphones on and choose a song

That tells me youth is not just for the young

And then a sound rings true

And all that I want to do

Is pick up the phone

And tell you how much it could mean to you

If only you heard it too

If I could play it just for you

You'd feel that groove

Hear that voice

See that view

And I want

No frills and no hidden meanings

Just lines where honesty shines

Write me something that can make me blush

I want something to relate to

But still I need to escape

A punch followed by a warm embrace

A feeling that will stay

When soft winds blow my way

Something to bear the weight

Of what I'm struggling to say

A sentiment that's worth

To echo out the hurt

A joy that's best described

In literary rhymes
