Say It First Nobody wants to say it first (no, nobody) Nobody wants to say it first (no, nobody) The candle's dripped a small white river down the side we never light your wine's gone flat and warm beside you mine's untouched, same as your side a joke sits caught behind my teeth too soon to laugh, too late to leave We both know exactly how this goes we've said it all without a single word your eyes are already out the door mine got there a while before Nobody wants to say it first nobody wants to say it first so we sit here, two full glasses and let the quiet do its worst Remember getting lost that summer three wrong turns and neither one cared we talked the whole way 'til we found it never once ran out of things to say funny how we used to fill every silence now we can't fill this one at all We both know exactly how this goes we've said it all without a single word your eyes are already out the door mine got there a while before Nobody wants to say it first nobody wants to say it first so we sit here, two full glasses and let the quiet do its worst Something's rising in my chest now you feel it too, I see it in your face we're one breath away from breaking one more second, one more— Nobody wants to say it first nobody wants to say it first so we sit here, two full glasses and let the quiet do its worst Nobody wants to say it first nobody wants to say it first The silence says it all, in the end
