You were quiet in the daylight Moving through the crowd Every word you never said Was screaming out loud You were standing in the doorway Waiting to be seen We were busy looking past you Like you’d never been You were right there in the open Fading into grey Every silent little warning You were calling in the night (We let it fade away) You were reaching for a sign (We looked the other way) You were burning in the light (We let it slip away) You were calling in the night And we let it fade away You were walking through the fire Smiling like you’re fine Every crack beneath the surface Hidden by design You were holding back the ocean Trying not to drown We were cheering from the distance While you were falling down You were right there in the open Fading into grey Every silent little warning We just turned away You were calling in the night (We let it fade away) You were reaching for a sign (We looked the other way) You were burning in the light (We let it slip away) You were calling in the night And we let it fade away If you had said it louder Would we have heard the sound? Or were we too afraid To turn ourselves around? You were standing in the open We were standing still You were asking for a hand We never reached until You were calling in the night (We let it fade away) You were reaching for a sign (We looked the other way) You were burning in the light (We let it slip away) You were calling in the night (We let it fade away) You were reaching for a sign (We looked the other way) You were calling in the night And we let it fade away You were calling… (We let it fade…) You were calling… (We let it fade…) You were calling in the night… (We let it fade away…)
