Is This Sound Okay?
Coconut Records Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Way out west
Where the air is clean
People know who you are
If you know what I mean

And we look alike
So don't go away
You were the only one
You were the greatest one day

Does this sound okay?
Is it low enough?
I thought I heard you say "it all it comes around"
Is this sound okay?
I can turn it up
Where will you stay when it all comes around again?

Yeah it's been so long
Since you spent the night
Did I hold you too late?
Did I have it too tight?

And it breaks apart
When you watch her sing
Without a little bit more
Something anything

Does this sound okay?
Is it low enough?
I thought I heard you say "it all comes around"

Is this sound okay?
I can turn it up
Where will you stay when it all comes around?

Does this sound okay?
I thought I heard you say "it all comes around again"

Does it sound okay?
Is this sound okay?
It all comes around




Is this sound okay?
It all comes around again
