[Verse 1]
You talk in glances
Half-phrases on your tongue
Coffee cup between us
All the answers left unsung
[Chorus]
I hear the voice of silence
Louder than your every word
Between the beats of your breathing
There’s the truest thing I’ve heard
You never say you’re leaving
But the air already knows
I hear the voice of silence
Speaking in the spaces that you close
[Verse 2]
Your keys on the table
Your eyes on the door
You trace the same old circle
On a stain in the floor
[Bridge]
Say it
Or stay
Either way your quiet
Gives you away
[low vocal register]I’m reading all the pauses[/low vocal register]
Every held-back phrase [chorus] I hear the voice of silence
Louder than your every word
Between the beats of your breathing
There’s the truest thing I’ve heard
You never say you’re leaving
But the air already knows
I hear the voice of silence
Speaking in the spaces that you close
