Verse 1 There’s a silence in this town at night Streetlights buzzing, no one driving by I’ve been running all day, chasing time But it don’t mean much when I close my eyes (leave space after this line) And your voice comes back like a song I didn’t know I needed all along Chorus When it gets quiet… That’s when you show up in my mind Every word, every look, every slow goodbye (hold “quiet” and “mind”) And I don’t fight it… I just let it play out slow Like your hand in mine I don’t wanna let go (hold “slow” and “go” with vibrato) Verse 2 There’s a picture on my phone I keep Don’t even know what it does to me It ain’t perfect, but it feels so real Like a moment I could almost still (pause) If I could stop time right there I’d stay with you in that air Chorus When it gets quiet… That’s when you show up in my mind Every word, every look, every slow goodbye And I don’t fight it… I just let it play out slow Like your hand in mine I don’t wanna let go Bridge (very soft, intimate) Maybe it’s the way you say my name… Or how nothing ever feels the same… (stretch “name” and “same”) Maybe it’s just me holding on… To something I was never ready to lose… Final Chorus (more emotion, not louder, deeper) When it gets quiet… You’re the only thing I hear Like a whisper that just won’t disappear (soft vibrato on “hear” and “disappear”) And I don’t fight it… I just close my eyes and know If it’s just a memory… I won’t let it go (long hold on “go” let your vibrato fully come out)
