The Quiet lyrics

[Intro]

Oh, what to say

When the right words fail to find the light of day

Oh, when everything is lost

And mixed feelings seed the hurricane of our hearts

[Verse 1]

'Cause the trouble with you

Is the trouble with me

As the weeks and months and years dragged on

When we didn’t do our thing

Oh, to lift a smile

Do we have to raise the dead?

You know far too much

Regret hangs off your head

[Chorus]

In the time that it takes for a smile to cross the room

In the time that it takes to be finally understood

In the time that it takes from being one of us to two

Is the time it takes to make the break to win at life

Again

[Verse 2]

Stargazer, storm chaser

Bought for dust, sold for gold

But will the true cost ever be known?

Can I even begin

To comprehend what you must've been through?

You're still tunneling dirt

To escape the hurt

[Chorus]

In the time that it takes for a smile to cross the room

In the time that it takes to be finally understood

In the time that it takes from being one of us to two

Is the time it takes to make the break to win at life

Again

[Bridge]

How far will you go?

This calls for drastic measures

When you’re so far away

So far away from pleasure

Can somebody mediate?

'Cause your love comes across as hate

These pieces just don't add up

[Breakdown]

Listen, listen to the quiet voice

Of your heart

Listen to the quiet voice

Of your heart, of your heart

Listen to the quiet voice

Listen to the quiet voice

Listen to the quiet voice

Listen to the quiet voice

Who's saving who?

[Chorus]

In the time that it takes, for a smile to cross the room

In the time that it takes, to be finally understood

In the time that it takes, from being one of us to two

Is the time it takes to make the break to win at life

[Chorus]

In the time that it takes, for a smile to cross the room

In the time that it takes, to be finally understood

In the time that it takes, from being one of us to two

It's the time it takes the moon to rise

We can start anew, let's win at life again

[Outro]

Oh, silent world

Rest assured that love lies beyond words
