Story Behind The Song

It's a play on the old philosophical question about whether a tree falling in the forest makes a sound if there's no one around to hear it. My own personal contention is that it depends on your definition of the word "sound". The songs contention is that of course it does. And it's usually a cry of pain. :-)

Song Description

A song about a lost love.

Lyrics

Give you something, I got a good time for nothing
'Cause you can see what I can see
I and can be what you can be
Don't tell me that I have to read
Emotional philosophy

All my life I've found
When anything, anywhere, anytime ever falls
It makes a sound

Tell me something, I don't know for sure is nothing
I know one thing, I want to believe you're bluffing
'Cause I am here and you are free
And you can be what you can be
You told me what you did to me
In words too plain for me to see

All your life you've found
When anyone, anywhere, anytime ever falls
It comes around

We were something, A long time before we had nothing
'Cause I was you and you were me
I always thought I had the key
In time we might have come to see
The place you always yearned to be

All your life you've found
When anyone, anywhere, anytime ever falls
They let you down

It means something, Those times I recall you loved me
A life of nothing, Has got to be good for something

'Cause you can see what I can see
And I can be what you can be
Don't tell me I don't have to read
Emotional philosophy

All my life I've found
When anything, anywhere, anytime ever falls
It makes a sound
