The Way It Sounds

Slack-jawed, with his head down
He hides a whip-smart grin
Ignores conversations
He knows he just can't win

Chorus

That's just the way that it sounds
Turn me up and turn around
That's just the way that it sounds
That it sounds

Dead-ends form the mainstream
He knows it's sink or swim
Bright glow from the sidewalk
He'll need his thickest skin

Chorus

Sad eyes hide her condition
He was a wrecking ball
Two years to see the difference
It was a judgement call

Chorus
