Sound of the Bell Lyrics

Found a place where we can talk
I found a way to reach a little ground
keep your castle in my sandbox
build it up so we can burn it down
anyway I love my man
love to keep him spinning round and round
keep him feeling love for my hand
any way to turn him inside out
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
meet me up and down again
every time is sweeter than the last
once you get a taste of impact
you're always hungry for the crash
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
and this is everything
I have loved
yeah, I have loved
break...
my...
heart...
down, I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
the sound of the bell
yeah...
(I don't wanna be found in the sunshine
I don't wanna be dim like a night light
I don't wanna be down like the sunlight
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight...)

Found a place where we can talk 
I found a way to reach a little ground 
keep your castle in my sandbox 
build it up so we can burn it down 
anyway I love my man 
love to keep him spinning round and round 
keep him feeling love for my hand 
any way to turn him inside out 
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight 
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight 
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell 
the sound of the bell 
the sound of the bell 
meet me up and down again 
every time is sweeter than the last 
once you get a taste of impact 
you're always hungry for the crash 
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight 
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight 
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell 
the sound of the bell 
the sound of the bell

the sound of the bell 
I don't wanna go down like the sunlight 
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight 
I don't wanna be found at the sound of the bell 
the sound of the bell 
the sound of the bell 
yeah... 
(I don't wanna be found in the sunshine 
I don't wanna be dim like a night light 
I don't wanna be down like the sunlight 
I don't wanna go out like the moonlight...)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Good song. It's about sex. But then again, what isn't. :) BTW, it's "Sound of the Bell" not "Sond"

When I listen to it I imagine a girl at sunset with her boyfriend who has to be home by dark but doesnt want to go. The music is great I love the sound of that thing in this song I don't know what it is but its pretty magical sound. THe song is just great I love it. The floating chimey kinda makes this song what it is but the bass and guitars are awesome too, clear, crunchy and heavy.

I think this song has to do with good times in general and enjoying them. You know, the nights that are so great, that you never want to end, that you still talk about years later, etc
