Quiet Hours

Instrumental Intro

Verse 1

Three in the morning the rain starts to speak

I count the soft spaces between every beat

My thoughts are too loud for a room this small

Ceiling is spinning I answer no call

Somewhere a taxi is swallowing the street

I keep the lamp low so the shadows retreat

And I trace the same worry a hundredth time

Losing the thread of it losing the line

Chorus

And I stay up

Yeah I stay up

Thinking bout the things I never said

And I stay up

Yeah I stay up

Turning every maybe in my head

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Rain keeps tapping on the glass

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Let the quiet hours pass

Verse 2

Somebody laughed in a dream I forgot

I woke with the shape of it still in my throat

The kettle is cold and the window is fogged

I am the ghost of a half-written note

All of my friends are asleep and okay

I am the only one keeping the day

Wait that is not right the day is not mine

I am just borrowing somebody's time

Chorus

And I stay up

Yeah I stay up

Thinking bout the things I never said

And I stay up

Yeah I stay up

Turning every maybe in my head

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Rain keeps tapping on the glass

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Let the quiet hours pass

Verse 3

Soft little sirens are drifting downtown

Nobody notices nobody now

I fold my worry like laundry and sigh

Hang it to dry in the pale of the sky

Maybe tomorrow I'll call her and say

Hey it's been heavy but I am okay

Maybe tomorrow the weight will be less

Tonight I am learning to sit with the rest

Chorus

And I stay up

Yeah I stay up

Thinking bout the things I never said

And I stay up

Yeah I stay up

Turning every maybe in my head

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Rain keeps tapping on the glass

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Let the quiet hours pass

Bridge

Quiet quiet quiet the city agrees

Quiet quiet quiet the rain and the trees

Quiet quiet quiet I let myself breathe

Quiet quiet quiet I let myself be

Instrumental Break

Verse 4

Four in the morning the sky turns to grey

I have survived every thought I could say

Somewhere a bird is deciding to sing

Somewhere the morning is folding its wing

I did not fix it I did not undo

I only stayed and I made it all through

Nothing is solved but the window is clear

And I am still here

And I am still here

Chorus

And I stay up

Yeah I stay up

Thinking bout the things I never said

And I stay up

Yeah I stay up

Turning every maybe in my head

Post-Chorus

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Rain keeps tapping on the glass

Mm-mm

Mm-mm

Let the quiet hours pass
