The Way Sound Leaves A Room

The Way Sound Leaves A Room - Sarah Jaffe

Written by：Sarah Jaffe

For years it would settle there

Til you called it out by name and feared

Nothing but its death was worth your time

And when you came to again

You tore it down on a whim

Always knew the body would win

Alright alright

In a season's shift your wheels had turned

And you came to me in the afternoon

Your beauty always took me by surprise

In a spell of days I pulled it through

The thread of hope I clung onto

Always knew the body would win

Alright alright

Though you did not know it yet

Apocalyptic mindset

Like fleeting thoughts that met to say goodbye

The way the sound leaves a room

And leaves the remnants you cling to

A stranger's elation in the night

Alright alright alright
