lyrics

She is waiting for a sound to keep
The silent days from deafening
The broken record, cause it hurts to keep
Repeating and waiting without answering

Bring her down from 10 to 1
She needs a noise a louder love
A heart of wire
To amplify
The one I'm thinking of
I'm not giving up
I'll transform sound to love

This quiet boy could use a silver tongue
Cause all his words, they prove him young
He rings the strings out and the waves come through
To tell the girl too late, it's true

Bring her up from 1 to 10
A louder love comes through again
A heart of wire
To amplify
The one I'm thinking of
I'm not giving up
I'll transform sound to love

Keep your own room
I'll believe in your words
When you show me they're true
Show me they're true

Little boy blue
Would it kill you to speak?
Fall asleep and we're through
On call and off cue
I promise I'll pick up
Winding wires for your love

Bring her up from 1 to 10
They scream and sing in love again
A heart of wire to amplify
The waves that move in me and you
Aligned in hues
Of green and blue

To the one I'm thinking of
I'm not giving up
I'll transform sound to love
