Loud Here

Intro

Mm

Suit pressed

House lights

Mm-hmm

Verse 1

Marble in the hallway

Champagne crystals in the glass

They printed my name on the banner

Above the crowd that wouldn't pass

Their hands were reaching every night

The velvet rope would fall for me

Every toast was golden

Every echo said my name for free

Chorus

It's so loud up here

The spotlight follows everywhere I move

It's so loud up here

But the quiet finds the room I lose

Verse 2

Now the glasses sit unopened

The banquet hall is going dark

The saxophone is fading

Like a signal losing its spark

The compliments are memory

The strangers gone to sleep

I count the chandeliers

From the corner where I weep

Chorus

It's so loud up here

But the silence owns the afterglow

It's so loud up here

And the loneliness begins to grow

Bridge

Turn it down

Turn it down

Let the curtain fall

Give me back the smallness

Give me back the wall

Verse 3

Room service at the doorway

One plate and a single key

The radiator hums my name

And it's the only voice that's near me

I traded all the faces

For a window with no view

The crowd is just an echo

And the echo's just you

Outro

Mm

Just me

Mm-hmm
