The Sound
Heart & Lung Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surrounded by memories, yeah this was our place
The girl laughing in our old corner booth
Sounds like you
Don’t know why I think it might be you all the time
In every single Mustang that pulls up to a red light
Crankin' the music like you used to do
Sounds like you
You’re in every song and every thought that's runnin' through my head
I try my best to keep this in, move on like I should do
But if life is like a movie then there’s a soundtrack playing too
It sounds like you, sounds like you
I pull myself together, put my heels and lipstick on
Tell my friends everything's ok when everything feels wrong
When I talk about what I want in someone new
Sounds like you
In every crowd, in every town, don’t matter where I am
You’re in every song and every thought that's runnin' through my head
I try my best to keep this in, move on like I should do
But if life is like a movie then there’s a soundtrack playing too
It sounds like you, sounds like you
And the further I travel I get even more confused
I hear footsteps on the gravel, turn and around and hope it's you
When our song is somewhere playin’ I wonder if you hear it too
When I’m on my knees and prayin’ the one answer I could use
Sounds like you, sounds like you
Sounds like you, sounds like you
Yeah, I miss you
The lyrics to Heart & Lung's song "The Sound" depict the lingering presence of a past love in the singer's life. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that they have no legitimate reason for being in a place associated with their memories of the past relationship. However, the atmosphere brings back vivid memories, as the girl laughing in their old corner booth sounds like their former partner. The chorus emphasizes the constant reminder of the past love, as the singer hears echoes of their former partner in everyday situations, such as hearing music blasting from a passing Mustang at a red light. The connection between the singer and their past love is so strong that they can't escape the person's presence, always feeling their influence in every song and thought that runs through their head.
Despite the singer's efforts to move on and put on a brave face for their friends, the reminder of their past love seeps into every conversation. When discussing what they want in someone new, the singer realizes that their desires align closely with their previous partner. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing that no matter where the singer goes, the presence of their past love is felt through the metaphorical soundtrack of their life. The further they travel and try to find clarity, the more confused they become. The singer even hopes to hear their past love's footsteps, indicating the longing they still hold. They wonder if their past partner also hears their song somewhere and if, in moments of vulnerability, they are the one answer the singer needs. The song ends with a heartfelt confession that the singer misses their past love.
Overall, "The Sound" captures the struggle of letting go and moving on from a significant relationship. The lyrics portray the almost haunting presence of a past love, showing how deeply they have impacted the singer's life and emotions.

I ain't got no business coming 'round here today
I have no valid reason to be here today
Surrounded by memories, yeah this was our place
Being in this location brings back memories of our past together
The girl laughing in our old corner booth
There's a girl in our usual spot who reminds me of you
Sounds like you
She resembles you in both appearance and laughter
Don’t know why I think it might be you all the time
I can't explain why I always associate her with you
In every single Mustang that pulls up to a red light
Whenever I see a Mustang at a traffic light
Crankin' the music like you used to do
Playing loud music, just like how you used to
Sounds like you
It feels like you're there, as if you're the one driving and enjoying the music
In every crowd, in every town, don’t matter where I am
No matter where I go, I sense your presence in every gathering
You’re in every song and every thought that's runnin' through my head
You occupy my mind and are connected to every song I hear
I try my best to keep this in, move on like I should do
I attempt to suppress these feelings and move forward as I'm supposed to
But if life is like a movie then there’s a soundtrack playing too
If life is comparable to a movie, there's always a background music that aligns with my emotions
It sounds like you, sounds like you
That music feels as if it's a representation of you
I pull myself together, put my heels and lipstick on
I gather my strength, get ready, and put on a confident facade
Tell my friends everything's ok when everything feels wrong
I reassure my friends that I'm fine, even though deep down, things are not alright
When I talk about what I want in someone new
When I discuss my desires for a new partner
Sounds like you
The qualities I seek in someone new resemble your own
And the further I travel I get even more confused
The more I move on, the more uncertain and conflicted I become
I hear footsteps on the gravel, turn and around and hope it's you
When I hear footsteps on the gravel, I instinctively hope it's you approaching
When our song is somewhere playin’ I wonder if you hear it too
When our song is playing somewhere, I wonder if you also hear it
When I’m on my knees and prayin’ the one answer I could use
When I'm in a desperate and vulnerable state, the only answer I seek is you
Sounds like you, sounds like you
Everything around me reminds me of you, feels like you
Yeah, I miss you
Indeed, I long for you and miss you
