1. Like a freeze-dried rose, you will never be
What you were, what you were to me in memory
But if I listen to the dark
You'll embrace me like a star
Envelope me, envelope me.

If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me to before you went away
If only for a day
If things get real for me down here
Promise to take me back to the tune
We played before you went away.

[Chorus:]
And if I listen to, the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white
You're my mystery. One mystery. My mystery. One mystery

2. My silence solidifies
Until that hollow void erases you
Erases you so I can't feel at all
But if I never feel again, at least that nothingness
Will end the painful dream, of you and me.

If things get real for me down here, promise to take me to
Before you went away, if only for a day
If things get real for me down here, promise to take me back to
The tune we played before you went away.

[Chorus:]
And if I listen to, the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white
Sometimes I hear your smile, and breathe your light
And if I listen to, the sound of white.

[Bridge:]
I knelt before some strangers face
I'd never have the courage or belief to trust this place
But I dropped my head, 'cos it felt like lead
And I'm sure I felt your fingers through my hair.

[Chorus:]
And if I listen to, the sound of white sometimes
I hear your smile, and breathe your light
Yeah if I listen to, the sound of white
The sound of white
The sound of white
The sound of white.
