[Verse 1]
You look at me then turn away
Like you got burned by my face
I catch that smile you try to hide
Then you hide it twice
Your laugh falls soft across the room
Like it knows more than we do
My hands go cold, my cheeks go red
When you pass by my bed
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep the line so clean
We never say what we mean
But your eyes stay on my mouth
Then you look right out
[Chorus]
Silent between us
Silent between us
Your name stays stuck in my throat
Silent between us
Silent between us
Too close to let it show
(too close)
[Verse 2]
You fix my sleeve with careful hands
Then pull back fast like you planned
I swear you felt my pulse jump hard
Through the thin dark air
I lean in when you lean too
Then I lose my nerve on cue
We both look down, we both look down
Like we did nothing now
[Pre-Chorus]
We keep the line so clean
We never say what we mean
But your breath hits mine too near
Then you disappear
[Chorus]
Silent between us
Silent between us
Your name stays stuck in my throat
Silent between us
Silent between us
Too close to let it show
(too close)
[Bridge]
One touch could tear this open
One word could make it true
But you stare at the floorboards
And I do it too
[Final Chorus]
Silent between us
Silent between us
Your name stays stuck in my throat
Silent between us
Silent between us
Too close to let it show
Silent between us
Silent between us
We both know what we know
(we both know)
