The Quiet We Keep

Verse 1

Fall through the cracks, close all the gaps

Tracing your skin like a map with no tracks

No need to hold your breath

’Cause time stands still on this kitchen floor

Verse 2

Draw the shade down, shut the world out

Show you just what I’ve been thinking about

Oh, I don’t need a reason

To follow you behind closed doors

Pre-Chorus

Well, they say she’s bad for my sleep

But they ain’t seen the quiet we keep

Chorus

There’s some beauty out there tonight

But I’ve gotta have her

No doubt in my mind

Hell, I’m done with the wandering kind

And she shines like gold in this town

So I’m gonna keep her

Stars like her ain’t around

Not when the world’s burning down

Verse 3

I’ve been waiting all night

We got the time

This love cuts the dark like a secret that shines

Baby, it ain’t a drug

But it ain’t something I could outrun

Chorus

There’s some beauty out there tonight

But I’ve gotta have her

No doubt in my mind

Hell, I’m done with the wandering kind

Mmm hmm

And she shines like gold in this town

So I’m gonna keep her

Stars like her ain’t around

Not when the world’s burning down

Burning down

Bridge

And I’ve been down roads that never gave back

Held hearts like smoke, gone just like that

But hers is a fire that don’t fade with time

It’s the only truth that I’ve ever called mine

Chorus (Outro)

There’s some beauty out there tonight

But I’ve gotta have her

No doubt in my mind

Hell, I’m done with the wandering kind, ain’t no lie

And she shines like gold in this town

So I’m gonna keep her

Final Verse

I guess home’s what I’ve found

This quiet’s what’s keeping me around
