When the Room Goes Quiet

Hmm, hmm

The last glass was beside the sink

Burgundy folded on the chair

Your perfume caught in the hallway air

I pour another, barely blink

The elevator gave us little time

And every door went still

I own the view, I own the night

But not the nerve to call you still

All this room, all this silence

There's nowhere left to hide it

I can feel you in the distance

Like a question I keep writing

When the room goes quiet, I hear you

After everybody leaves, I need you

Blue on the windows, gold on the floor

I have everything, but I want something more

When the room grows quiet, come closer

Even if we never cross that closure

Let the whole night wait outside

You and I, unfinished side by side

The ice gives up inside the glass

A slow surrender in the dark

Your name still fits between my breasts

Like a match waiting for a spark

No conversation left to perform

No eyes to make me play it cool

Just a shape in the empty room

And the truth I never gave to you

All this room, all this silence

There's nowhere left to hide it

I can feel you in the distance

Like a question I keep writing

When the room goes quiet, I hear you

After everybody leaves, I need you

Blue on the window's door

On the floor

I have everything but I want something more

When the room goes quiet

Come closer

Even if we never cross

That closure

Let the whole night wait outside

You and I

One finished side by side

Maybe you are still awake

Maybe you are just as close

Maybe all we ever needed was the noise to finally go

If I say your name out loud, will the distance lose its shape?

I don't need a grand confession, just one reason for you to stay

When the room goes quiet, I hear you

After everybody leaves, I need you

Blue on the window's gold

On the floor, I have everything

But I want something more

When the room goes quiet, ooh, come closer

Let the unsaid pull us closer

Let the whole night wait outside

You and I, unfinished side by side

The last glass waits beside the sink

The city turns below

When the room goes quiet

I still don't let you go
