Quiet

I'm not yours, and you're not mine But we can sit and pass the time No fighting wars, no ringing chimes We're just feeling fine

This is where we're supposed to be Sitting by a broken tree No tragedy, no poetry Just staring at the sky

I could wait a thousand hours Stay the same in sun and showers Pick apart a hundred flowers Just to be quiet Tell me when you feel ready I'm the one, there's not too many Hold my hand to keep me steady Just to be quiet with you With you

I like it here beside you dear You're even more than you appear And in the clouds my head is clear Every time you say hello

So here's my heart, and here's my mouth And I can't help if things come out 'Cause there are words I want to shout But maybe I'll stay low

I could wait a thousand hours Stay the same in sun and showers Pick apart a hundred flowers Just to be quiet Tell me when you feel ready I'm the one, there's not too many Hold my hand to keep me steady Just to be quiet

I could wait a thousand hours Stay the same in sun and showers Pick apart a hundred flowers Just to be quiet Tell me when you feel ready I'm the one, there's not too many Hold my hand to keep me steady Just to be quiet with you

With you
