Where The Quiet Lives

We were just two souls on a quiet street

Hands in our pockets, hearts skipping beats

The world kept turning, but we stood still

Like the night was ours and always will

Your laugh was a spark in the autumn air

Every glance a promise you didn’t know was there

And I kept every word you said

Like folded letters I’ve never read

And I don’t need the stars to shine

When your eyes are lighting mine

In the place where the quiet lives

That’s where I’ll keep you, that’s where you’ll be

Between the lines of the life we missed

And the dreams we still believe

Even if the seasons change

And the colors fade from view

In the place where the quiet lives

I’ll always come back to you

We talked about forever like it was near

But forever’s just a word until it’s here

And though the days have pulled us far apart

You’re still the echo in my heart

I see you in the corners of my mind

In the songs I play when I’m trying to find

A way to feel the way I did

When love was new and we were kids

And I don’t need the stars to shine

When your eyes are lighting mine

In the place where the quiet lives

That’s where I’ll keep you, that’s where you’ll be

Between the lines of the life we missed

And the dreams we still believe

Even if the seasons change

And the colors fade from view

In the place where the quiet lives

I’ll always come back to you

Maybe love’s not meant to stay the same

Maybe it grows, maybe it fades

But some things time can’t take away

Like the way you said my name

In the place where the quiet lives

That’s where I’ll keep you, that’s where you’ll be

Between the lines of the life we missed

And the dreams we still believe

Even if the seasons change

And the colors fade from view

In the place where the quiet lives

I’ll always come back to you
