Nine Million Songs Lyrics

I could drown you in silly thoughts until my tongue runs dry

I could fill pages trying to explain you why

The melodies of old have been keeping you on my mind

Perpetually polished, relentlessly refined

As you become the 'She' and the 'You' in all the songs I listen to

And I listen to nine million songs everyday

So I don't know how I could send the thought of you away

If one would plug me to a seat, studying my brainwave

They would notice a shift in the way I behave

An irregularity as I name you on a list

As I casually mention you exist

As you become the 'She' and the 'You' in all the songs I listen to

And I listen to nine million songs everyday

So I don't know how I could send the thought of you away

Would I be convincing if I were to pretend

That I'm committed to do my best to bring it to an end

But somehow I doubt that turning off the radio

Would be quite enough to help me let you go

I could find the time to lick my wounds if you weren't that close

I could find the calm I'd need if I wanted to compose

But I always project you as the primary subject

Of every tune I seem to recollect

As you become the 'She' and the 'You' in all the songs I listen to

And I listen to nine million songs everyday

So I don't know how I could send the thought of you away
