This is a sound check    This is where we check the sound    Of complex explanations for the tragedies in which we drown    This is a sound check       I can hear my resolve snap as our bodies bend    I don’t think I could tell you where I wanted this to end    Trying hard not to think of anything but her skin    Everyone makes mistakes sometimes,    at the moment I’m just cashing mine in       Close my eyes and find a groove    Let myself go, begin to move    The further I drift away from shore    All I want is more       She’s asking me if I want to stop,    but the last thing that I want to do is talk    About what it is that I really want and why    There’s a pain in my chest that’s beginning to burn like sin    And I’m beginning to wonder if we’re ever gonna get out    of the mess we’re in       Close my eyes and find a groove    Let myself go, begin to move    The further I drift away from shore    All I want is more       You don’t have to testify    When no one ever asks you why    It’s not hard to justify    When you’ve never told a lie       This is a sound check    It’s where we check the sound    Of justifications and apologies so profound    This is a sound check          This is a sound check    This is where we check the sound    Of complex explanations for the tragedies in which we drown    Thanks for coming to the sound check
