Speaking in Silence

“Speaking in Silence”

“Speaking in Silence,” released on At Night, 2016.

night has become
my favorite time of day
our silence says
all it needs to say
we stare at the other
keeping quiet well
wondering if the other
will break the peaceful spell
chorus:
and then you tell me
we should probably go to bed
the spell has been broken
the words have been said
but I stay up later
replaying the scene
of speaking in silence
and begin to dream
and all I can see
is what tomorrow brings
will it be the same, or go
back to the beginning?
here comes the moment
time we stayed up to see
you and I both
wish so hard we can’t breathe
chorus
this feeling hangs between us by a rope
and that’s the reason why I begin to hope
that you and I are wishing for the same thing
and what it is: is crossing
so we don’t have to meet in dreams
chorus x2
night has become
my favorite time of day
our silence says
all it needs to say
