Sound of Your Voice

Barenaked Ladies

The moon is full
But there is an incompleteness
The days are beautiful
But I feel a bitter sweetness
If I had a wish, or even a choice, I'd wake up to the sound of your voice

Oh, how I miss waking up to the sound of your voice

I let you down
And fell right off your good list
I hope each day you'll find peace
And forgiveness
The alarm clock rings
What a lonely noise
And I long for the sound of your voice

Oh, how I miss waking up to the sound of your voice

Take it from me: there's not much to see
In this void

The saying goes
There will be other dances
This little song is about
Second chances
Just say the word
And I will rejoice
And wake up to the sound of your voice

Oh, how I miss waking up
To the sound
To the sound
To the sound
To the sound
Waking up to the sound of your voice

Take it from me: there's not much to see
In this void

    General CommentI like BNL because their songs are interpretable and have a solid meaning, unlike so many other bands which just string together words which sound good.

    Some misses the voice of his girlfriend.

    General CommentBNL rule. he has let his girlfriend down "i let you down". and he misses her. but instead of saying that, they put it so sweetly and says that he misses the sound of her voice. also he wants a second chance to hear her voice again tho they have split up. its so sweet. though for me it is so true because im in love with my boyfriend and if i had a wish or a choice i would wake up to the sound of his voice.
    BNL rule, seeing them in march. cant wait. xx

    General CommentAnother reason why I only listen to BNL when I'm really down...
    The 'DON'T GIVE UP' makes me happy in this one.

    General CommentThat is defenitely true, and that happens, even after breakup, for suck a long time, you'd still want to as hear the voice of which you always wake up hearing.

    General CommentThis song is fantastic. Especially how they perform it without Steve Page. I saw them in LA last month and this song was the best part of the show.
