I like to listen to music I like the way that it sounds On the radio I like to sit in a silent place When no one's around And listen inside it Inside the silence is a melody Voices singing harmony I close my eyes and listen carefully The silence starts to get loud It's like your favorite station Playing your favorite song Just like they do on the radio Like they do on the radio Inside the silence is a symphony Every note there is in every key The music tells me how it wants to be I help it write itself down I hear the way that would sound It's like your favorite station Playing your favorite song Just like they do on the radio Like they do on the radio But the radio isn't on On the radio
