Lyrics
Verse 1
Midnight bus rolls past the marquee sign
Rain on the windshield like a thousand tiny lines
I got a postcard from a friend in Tokyo
Said the cherry blossoms bloom in April snow
Folded paper cranes on my dashboard
Every one a promise I was too scared to afford
Used to think that moving meant leaving things behind
Now I'm learning that the letting go's a different kind
Pre-Chorus
And I'm chasing what I can't quite name
A feeling that the summer left in flames
But the ashes leave a warmth that stays
Chorus
Hold on to the quiet
Hold on to the glow
Everything I've lost
Is everything I know
The night keeps turning slowly
The stars keep hanging low
Hold on to the quiet
That's where I go
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
That's where I go
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 2
Sunday morning at the laundromat
An old man hums a tune from way back
He says his wife would sing it every spring
When the robins came and the bells would ring
I never met her but I know her song by heart
Funny how a stranger can show you where to start
Every stained-glass window in this factory town
Finds a way to let some holy light come down
Pre-Chorus
And I'm holding what I can't quite keep
A memory the ocean learned to keep
But the current pulls me somewhere deep
Chorus
Hold on to the quiet
Hold on to the glow
Everything I've lost
Is everything I know
The night keeps turning slowly
The stars keep hanging low
Hold on to the quiet
That's where I go
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
That's where I go
Oh-oh-oh
Bridge
Maybe peace is just the space between
The thunder and the sound of rain
Maybe home is just a name we give
To the places we can still forgive
Maybe we're the river and the stone
Moving and refusing to be alone
Maybe all we are is all we hold
In the quiet when the story's told
Hook
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
In the quiet
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Chorus
Hold on to the quiet
Hold on to the glow
Everything I've lost
Is everything I know
The night keeps turning slowly
The stars keep hanging low
Hold on to the quiet
That's where I go
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
That's where I go
Oh-oh-oh
