[Verse 1] I fold the map in my coat One more name in my note You smile like you don’t know I’m already gone In the train window glass I watch your shadow pass Three keys and a match Then the room goes dark [Pre-Chorus] Hands in my pockets Heart in a lockbox You say “stay awhile” I say “not tonight” [Chorus] Quiet steps, quiet steps I move like smoke through the hall Quiet steps, quiet steps You never see me at all (quiet steps) (quiet steps) [Verse 2] Brown paper at the café A folded page, I don’t stay Your red scarf by the stairway A sign I was here I trade my face for the rain Leave a door with no name By the time you call my name I’m already gone [Pre-Chorus] Hands in my pockets Heart in a lockbox You say “stay awhile” I say “not tonight” [Chorus] Quiet steps, quiet steps I move like smoke through the hall Quiet steps, quiet steps You never see me at all (quiet steps) (quiet steps) [Bridge] Tape hiss in the ceiling One light on, then fading If you knew what I know You’d run too [Chorus] Quiet steps, quiet steps I move like smoke through the hall Quiet steps, quiet steps You never see me at all (quiet steps) (quiet steps)
