Without a Sound
Heroes For Hire Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Without a sound I say goodbye
And escape into the night
I'm full of doubt
And I'm wondering why
I can't see, can't see clearly

I lie awake (I lie awake)
Stare up the sky (Stare up the sky)

Draw my regrets beneath willing lies
As darkness fade (As darkness fade)
Beneath the lies we'll turn them

I wanna be there when the sky starts falling
Watching as the world comes crashing down
There's not a star up in the sky
Without a sound we'll say goodbye

I wanna be there when the sky starts falling
Watching as the world comes crashing down
There's not a star up in the sky
Without a sound we'll say goodbye

Without a sound to take your time
To look into this eyes
They're full of doubt
And your wondering why
My conscience feel so guilty

I lie awake (I lie awake)
Stare up the sky (Stare up the sky)
Draw my regrets beneath willing lies
As darkness fade (As darkness fade)
Beneath the lies we'll turn them

I wanna be there when the sky starts falling
Watching as the world comes crashing down
There's not a star up in the sky
Without a sound we'll say goodbye

I wanna be there when the sky starts falling
Watching as the world comes crashing down
There's not a star up in the sky
Without a sound we'll say goodbye

This is it, this is the end
We're one step closer to the edge
So take my hand and don't be scared
We'll take one chance to start again

So this is it, this is the end
We're one step closer to the edge
Just take my hand and do be scared
Take my hand tonight...

I wanna be there when the sky starts falling
Watching as the world comes crashing down
There's not a star up in the sky
Without a sound we'll say goodbye

I wanna be there when the sky starts falling
Watching as the world comes crashing down
There's not a star up in the sky
Without a sound we'll say goodbye

I wanna be there when the sky starts falling
Watching as the world comes crashing down

There's not a star up in the sky
Without a sound we'll say goodbye

Line by Line Meaning

Without a sound I say goodbye
Quietly leaving without any fuss

And escape into the night
Leave under the cover of darkness

I'm full of doubt
Uncertain of what to do

And I'm wondering why
Questioning the situation

I can't see, can't see clearly
Unclear vision of the future

I lie awake (I lie awake)
Unable to sleep

Stare up the sky (Stare up the sky)
Looking up at the stars

Draw my regrets beneath willing lies
Acknowledge mistakes while pretending everything is fine

As darkness fade (As darkness fade)
As the night passes

Beneath the lies we'll turn them
Addressing and correcting the mistakes

I wanna be there when the sky starts falling
Face problems head-on
