I used to know where everything belonged Keys by the door, lights out before dawn Nothing was broken Nothing went wrong God, it was quiet Then you came in with your shoes on the floor Left every cabinet open, every thought unsure You laugh too loud when the neighbors complain And somehow silence doesn't sound the same I know your timing I know your type You turn a Tuesday into flashing lights Every good instinct says run for my life But all I hear is— Beautiful noise You make a mess of the air Beautiful noise And suddenly I care Shake every picture straight off of the wall I had everything perfect I felt nothing at all Now I can't hear myself And I like your voice Beautiful, beautiful noise You call at midnight with nowhere to go I say, "That's a terrible idea" Then I open the door You leave your heartbeat all over the room A little too fast, a little too soon I should want order I should want space Instead I'm watching you wreck the place I could put everything back I could make everything clean But I remember exactly How empty clean used to be Beautiful noise You make a mess of the air Beautiful noise And suddenly I care Shake every picture straight off of the wall I had everything perfect I felt nothing at all Now I can't hear myself And I like your voice Beautiful, beautiful noise I know this isn't peace I know this isn't safe I know exactly what I'm choosing Let it rattle Let it ring Let the whole room lose its shape There was a version of me Who would've hated this She slept eight hours Never missed a train Never kissed a beautiful mistake Maybe she was smarter Maybe she was right Maybe she can have the quiet I'm busy tonight Beautiful noise Come make a mess of the air Beautiful noise I know exactly what's there Shake every picture straight off of the wall I had everything perfect I felt nothing at all Turn it up till the silence Has no other choice Beautiful, beautiful noise Nothing is where it belongs Good Beautiful noise
