[VERSE 1 — HER] You walk in like a shadow No warning, no sound And suddenly the city Can’t reach me now You don’t ask what I’m thinking You don’t need to know You just stand there beside me And I let the whole world go [VERSE 1 — HIM] You think I leave Because leaving comes easy It doesn’t Sometimes I go Because staying Would tell you everything [PRE-CHORUS — HER] There’s something in the silence Something I can’t explain You’re close enough to feel But still so far away [PRE-CHORUS — HIM] I see the way you change The second I walk in How every little sound Starts disappearing You look away too quickly Like there’s something you might show And I pretend I never notice ’Cause I’m scared of what I know [CHORUS — HER] When you’re here I don’t need a thing No words, no promises Just the way you breathe When you’re here The noise disappears You could leave in a minute And I’d still feel you here [CHORUS — HIM] When I’m there I hear your silence change You never have to touch me I can feel it anyway When I’m there I’m fighting every word ’Cause if I tell you what I’m feeling We can’t go back to what we were [POST-CHORUS — BOTH] Just stay Don’t say anything Just stay Let the silence in So I breathe I stay I almost let you in Then I leave Before the truth Can begin [VERSE 2 — HER] I know the space between us Like a road in the dark I could reach for your hand But I don’t know where to start Maybe that’s what keeps me Coming back again You never have to save me You just make the noise end [VERSE 2 — HIM] There’s a distance on the table There’s a question in your eyes And every time I almost cross it Something in me steps aside You think I never feel it You think I never know But every time you pull me closer I’m the one afraid to go [PRE-CHORUS — HER] And maybe you don’t notice What happens when you come The world keeps moving somewhere But mine just comes undone [PRE-CHORUS — HIM] And maybe you don’t notice What happens when I’m close I lose the part of me That always knows When it’s time to go [CHORUS — BOTH] When you’re here Everything gets still No words, no promises Nothing else feels real When you’re here I forget the way to leave And every breath between us Sounds like something I should believe [BRIDGE — HER] Maybe we’re a secret Neither one will say Maybe we’re just two ghosts Passing through the same place I don’t need forever I don’t need a name Give me one quiet moment And I’ll lose the world again [BRIDGE — HIM] Maybe we’re not a secret Maybe we’re just scared Maybe all this distance Only proves We both still care You don’t need forever Neither do I But give me one quiet moment Where I don’t have to lie [BREAK — HER] Sometimes I imagine What would happen if I stayed If I reached across that silence And let your fingers find their place [BREAK — HIM] Sometimes I go Because if I stay too long I might stop pretending I’m alright [HER] Don’t say anything [HIM] Not tonight [HER] Just stay [HIM] I’m trying [HER] For a little while [HIM] I already know You understood [FINAL CHORUS — BOTH] When you’re here Everything goes still Every wall I built for years Starts losing what it held When you’re here Even for a while You leave without a warning But you leave me with your light When I’m there I forget the way to leave And every breath between us Sounds like something I should believe So if I disappear again Don’t think I didn’t care [HER] You could leave in a minute And I’d still feel you here [HIM] I leave because The hardest place to leave… [BOTH — QUIET] …is when you’re there [OUTRO — HER] Don’t say anything Just stay For a little while [HIM] And if you ever ask me Why I never stayed… [BOTH] I did. Just never Long enough To say it.
