Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Midnight settles soft against the glass
I count the hours like they're coins
My shadow stretches longer than the wall
And nobody calls
Every creak a voice I almost know
The radiator hums a tune
I pour a cup of nothing just to hold
Something warm and old
[Pre-Chorus]
So I sit with the silence
Let it settle in my chest
It knows me better than the daylight does
[Chorus]
This is the quiet of my heart
A room where only I have been
This is the quiet of my heart
A hush beneath the din
I don't need the noise to tell me who I am
I don't need the noise
[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
[Verse 2]
There's a girl who used to sing so loud
She lives somewhere behind my ribs
I hear her hum when everything goes still
And the night forgives
[Pre-Chorus]
So I lean into the stillness
Let it braid itself through me
It loves me in a language I forgot
[Chorus]
This is the quiet of my heart
A room where only I have been
This is the quiet of my heart
A hush beneath the din
I don't need the noise to tell me who I am
I don't need the noise
[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
[Bridge]
Still water
Still air
Still the beating under everything
Still here
[Chorus]
This is the quiet of my heart
A room where only I have been
This is the quiet of my heart
A hush beneath the din
I don't need the noise to tell me who I am
I don't need the noise
[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm
Mm-mm
[Outro]
Mm
Mm-hmm
Mm
