Ringing In My Ears

Chris Ayer

Compositor: Christopher Norton Ayer

It was a song that I heard once at a party
They played it way too loud, eventually the cops came (oh)

You are the ringing in my ears
You are the sound of it as it gets hard to hear
You are the ringing in my ears
New life's beginning but you are the ringing

I was an island in the middle of the ocean
No one could find the place and so it stays unbroken
Like any man, who was born upon that white sand
It's hard to sleep at night when I'm capsized on dry land

There is a burden on my feet
The kind of blisters where it's hard to walk for weeks
There is a burden on my feet
The world keeps turning but, there is a burden

And I wanted you to hear
To find whatever's strong enough and see yourself more clear
And I wonder how it sounds
We'll hear each other's voice when the other's not around

You are the ringing in my ears
You are the sound of it as it gets hard to hear
You are the ringing in my ears
New life's beginning but, you are the ringing (ooh)

You are the ringing in my ears
I love the sound of it as it gets hard to hear
You are the ringing in my ears
New life's beginning but, you are the ringing

It was a song that I heard once at a party
