lyrics

You sat in silence while my dumb mouth floundered
I wasn't saying anything at all
You sipped from your straw and you smiled politely
I looked at my feet, at the floor, at the wall

It's dumb, it's so dumb
It makes me want to stay home, and never come out
But I'll stay quiet, if you stay quiet
And maybe in time
Things just might

Whisper it to me
your voice a silent siren
I'm here I'm listening with my all
with every bone
Whisper it to me
your voice a silent siren
I'm here I'm listening
the world around us is gone

Sat side by side, either side of a canyon
I held my breath as the wind picked up
But if a hurricane blows I'll still hear those hushed tones
Your feather locution it keeps me afloat
And I think I'm falling, I'm falling, watch me fall

It's dumb, it's so dumb
It makes me want to stay home, and never come out
But I'll stay quiet, if you stay quiet
And maybe in time
Things just might

Whisper it to me
your voice a silent siren
I'm here I'm listening with my all
with every bone
Whisper it to me
your voice a silent siren
I'm here I'm listening
the world around us is gone
