About
A song exploring the fragility and the communication breakdown within a relationship
Lyrics
Intro
Heavy air and empty rooms
Something broken in the sound
Lonely footsteps fill the gloom
Still hoping you'll come around
Echoed laughter in the walls
Memories that slip away
Reaching out through aching calls
But the words just fade to gray
Verse 1
Midnight on the phone again
Echoes wrapped in doubt
Tired questions, restless men
Hope flickers, almost out
Rain runs along the window frame
Silent prayers I can't confess
Trying to find someone to blame
But all we have left is this
Chorus
We talk but we don’t hear
Your voice feels far from me now
Words tumble and disappear
Glass hearts shatter somehow
Post-Chorus
Oh oh, falling down
Oh oh, silence loud
Verse 2
Promises worn thin
Every look hides a plea
Lonely where love had been
My soul aches quietly
Pre-Chorus
If you reach, will I know?
If I answer, do you stay?
We're mirrors cracked edge to edge
Holding on by a thread each day
Chorus
We talk but we don’t hear
Your voice feels far from me now
Words tumble and disappear
Glass hearts shatter somehow
Post-Chorus
Oh oh, falling down
Oh oh, silence loud
Bridge
Shadows where promises lay
Hands reaching but we miss
Faded colors turning gray
Lost meaning in every kiss
Chorus
We talk but we don’t hear
Your voice feels far from me now
Words tumble and disappear
Glass hearts shatter somehow
Post-Chorus
Oh oh, falling down
Oh oh, silence loud
Outro
Can you hear me through the sorrow
Or am I talking to the dark?
Tracing memories we borrowed
Trying to find where we lost that spark
Heavy hearts call out forgiveness
But the words get stuck between
Holding on through all the distance
Still hoping love might intervene
Post-Chorus
Oh oh, falling down
Oh oh, silence loud
Oh oh, can you hear me now?
Coda
Empty chairs, your shadow lingers
Every word a fragile plea
Truth slips through my trembling fingers
Where you end and I begin, can’t see
All these wounds that never mend
Carry echoes as they bleed
If you reach across again
Would our silence still succeed?
Post-Chorus
Oh oh, falling down
Oh oh, silence loud
Oh oh, calling out now
Oh oh, calling out now
