Surround Sound

We both know it lingers
I feel it in the stillness
Or else it wouldn't have happened this way
I'm holding your fingers
Candles and incense
If I could, I'd ask you today
Letting your guard down
Watching TV in surround sound
You can hear it bouncing off of the walls
It's like that when I see you
So loud & foolproof
I'd keep on the captions and call

So loud, are you
Hearing it now
I can picture the feeling
When we finally come around

We both know it feels good
To have something to hold onto
But good doesn't always have to mean right
On one hand, we've been here
On the other I know why we're back
And it feels like I'm starting my life
I think I'd fold under pressure
If you were any other person
But I'm finding myself filling all your space
It's not something I got used to
Not something I was allowed to
And I'm filling mine with vignettes of our place

So loud, are you
Listening now
Can't you picture this healing
If we talk about the sound
'Cause it's so loud, are your
Knees buckling now
Can I take you somewhere else
We can drown every feeling out

I didn't think yours were the secrets I'd keep
Didn't think I'd put you this high up on the list of best things
That ever happened to me
The air strokes my fingers
Waving my hand through the current
You're tearing down the turnpike with me
We're back from your hometown
You're home and I'm wheels down
We're everything I hoped we would be
