[Verse 1]
Is it the clock on the wall or is it nothing at all?
Is it the rain on the window falling?
Is it the washing machine that keeps on startling me?
Is it the sound of you not calling?
[Chorus]
Who knows? I don't
It's just the sound of being alone
It comes, it goes
It's just the sound of being alone
Too much of anything is never a good thing
Is it a bad thing I'm good on my own?
I could say anything, nobody's listening
It's just the sound of being alone
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Verse 2]
Is it the voice in my head or monsters under my bed?
Or is it just another midnight siren?
Is it the steps up the stairs or someone that used to be there?
Some illusion that the world calls silencе
[Chorus]
Oh, who knows? I don't
It's just the sound of being alone
It comеs, it goes
It's just the sound of being alone
Too much of anything is never a good thing
Is it a bad thing I'm good on my own?
I could say anything, nobody's listening
It's just the sound of being alone
It's just the sound of—
Yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, I hate it, I hate it
I curse it, I blame it
For feeling like I'm losing my mind
I can't take it, can't take it
I'm lovely, I'm breaking
And I really think I'm losing my mind
Oh, am I really losing my mind?
[Outro]
Is it the clock on the wall or is it nothing at all?
Is it the rain on the window falling?
It's just the sound of being alone
It's just the sound of being alone

I wrote this song over Zoom with my friends Mags Duval and Dan Wilson. And I literally was like, ‘I am going crazy in my house by myself,’ like hearing the traffic going by the window and watching the rain and the washing machine in my house. All of these things are actual things that I was talking...
