When It All Goes Quiet

The city fades into the dark

Streetlights drawing little stars

On the pavement underneath my feet

(falling...)

The world keeps spinning somewhere else

Everybody's with somebody

Everybody but me

(not me...)

I keep the noise up

Keep the silence out

But it always finds me somehow

(somehow...)

There's something waiting

On the other side of midnight

(waiting...)

When it all goes quiet

The shadows start talking

(talking...)

Every missing piece

Comes back without warning

And I swear I can almost touch

Everything I left behind

(behind...)

When it all goes quiet

You come back to mind

(again...)

Neon reflections in the rain

A thousand faces, different names

But none of them are yours

(yours...)

The night stretches like an ocean

And I'm drifting with the current

Further from the shore

(further...)

I keep moving

But I don't know why

Cause you can't outrun

What's living inside

(inside...)

There's something waiting

Between the dark and daylight

(still waiting...)

When it all goes quiet

The shadows start talking

(talking to me...)

Every missing piece

Comes back without warning

And I swear I can almost hear

The life I thought was mine

(so close...)

When it all goes quiet

You come back to mind

Maybe that's why

I hate empty rooms

(empty rooms...)

They leave too much space

For ghosts of you

(of you...)

Maybe that's why

I keep the lights on

Maybe that's why

I'm never really gone

(not gone...)

When it all goes quiet

The loneliness starts breathing

(breathing...)

Sitting in the corner

Where nobody can see it

(hide it...)

And I swear for a moment

Everything feels alive

(alive...)

When it all goes quiet

So does everything

I try to leave behind

(leave behind...)

The world falls asleep

(falls asleep...)

And there you are again

(again...)
