Quiet

I’m not yours, and you’re not mine
But we can sit and pass the time
No fighting wars, no ringing chimes
We’re just feeling fine
This is where we’re supposed to be
Sitting by a broken tree
No tragedy, no poetry
Just staring at the sky
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same, in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I’m the one, there’s not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet with you
I like it here beside you dear
You’re even more than you appear
And in the clouds, my head is clear
Every time you say, «Hello»
Here’s my heart, and here’s my mouth
And I can’t help if things come out
'Cause there are words I want to shout
But maybe I’ll stay low
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same, in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I’m the one, there’s not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet
I could wait a thousand hours
Stay the same, in sun and showers
Pick apart a hundred flowers
Just to be quiet
Tell me when you feel ready
I’m the one, there’s not too many
Hold my hand to keep me steady
Just to be quiet with you
I’m not yours, and you’re not mine
But we can sit and pass the time
I’m not yours, and you’re not mine
But we can sit and pass the time
