The Quiet Ones

I fell in love with a vision

I didn't know what I was looking at

Facing away from the mirror

There are a million ways to break a heart

The lights are dimming into amber glows

Your cheeks flush pink and so it shows

The night is falling but we feel so light

There are a million ways to spend the night

It's always, it's always the quiet ones

You won't see it coming until it lands

A moment suspended halfway in time

It's always, it's always the quiet ones

There's always more than meets the eye

In every flicker of the light

Falling too deep in what we crave

I think you never wanted to be saved

The steaming heat of late July

Is dripping slowly in my eyes

With sweaty hands I'm gripping tight

There are a million ways to win the fight

It's always, it's always the quiet ones

You won't see it coming until it lands

A moment suspended halfway in time

It's always, it's always the quiet ones

My tongue tastes like ashes

The tears on my lashes

It's not the first time or the last

There's nothing around us

Just darkness surrounds us

Between the future and the past

It's always, it's always the quiet ones

You won't see it coming until it lands

A moment suspended halfway in time

It's always, it's always the quiet ones

The quiet ones, the quiet ones

The quiet ones, the quiet ones
