Lyrics:
I'm going off the deep end
Barely sleeping
Ringing in my ears sounds like singing
It's the only thing I hear

I'm drowning out inside the sound

I can't stop myself from thinking about you all the time
I'm always trying to tune you out but I'm gonna let you in tonight

When the sound of your voice comes through it's hardly there
But it's all I care about

I'm drowning out inside the sound
I can't follow what you're saying, I don't bother to try

I'm going off the deep end
Barely sleeping
Ringing in my ears sounds like singing
It's the only thing I hear

I just cling to it. I just listen
I just cling to it. I just listen

It sounds like you're saying beautiful things to me
It sounds like you're setting me up for beautiful dreams

I'm going off the deep end
Barely sleeping
Ringing in my ears sounds like singing
It's the only thing I hear

I'm drowning out inside the sound
I'm drowning out inside the sound

I can't follow what you're saying
I don't bother to try
Little bits of beautiful things you would say while I was fading off

I just cling to it. I just listen
I just cling to it. I just listen
