Another night drifts into blue Familiar lights are coming through Some fill the room with stories loud Some stay hidden in the crowd A passing joke, a quick reply A simple "good" and moving by Maybe that's all there is to say Maybe something slipped away And I don't know What's behind the silence tonight But I just know Maybe it's nothing after all Maybe everything's alright Maybe I'm reading too much in To the quiet tonight But if the silence gets too heavy If the distance starts to show Just know somebody noticed More than you'll ever know Years go by in voices and calls Half-told lives through digital walls We learn the laugh before the name Yet somehow care for them the same Some drift close and some drift far Like distant lights beyond the dark Still there's something that remains A thread that time could never change And maybe I'm wrong Maybe everything's alright I just know Maybe it's nothing after all Maybe everything's alright Maybe I'm reading too much in To the quiet tonight But if the silence gets too heavy If the distance starts to show Just know somebody noticed More than you'll ever know I started typing out a line Then watched the cursor mark the time A thousand thoughts I couldn't send A simple question in the end Are you alright? The quiet ones keep carrying More than they ever show Standing just beyond the spotlight Where nobody really knows Maybe strength isn't pretending Everything's alright Maybe it's just showing up One more night If the silence gets too heavy If the distance starts to show Just know somebody noticed More than you'll ever know Another night drifts into blue Familiar lights are coming through
