Текст пісні
You sleep on the far side of a wall we never built
Two doors down the hallway, same roof, same quilt
I hear your phone glow midnight, I pretend to stay asleep
You scroll through tiny faces, I count the spaces we don't keep
How can we raise another child in this silent family?
No laughter in the living room, just dishes, dust, and TV
You want a cradle in the corner, I want your hands on me
How can we raise another child when we barely even speak?
We pass in the kitchen like strangers at a sink
You talk about appointments, I talk about the leak
You say, "You're almost thirty, time is running thin"
I say, "I'm barely breathing," you say, "Where have you been?"
How can we raise another child in this silent family?
No laughter in the living room, just dishes, dust, and TV
Oh, I wanna be wanted like water in July
Pulled under your current, not just the man who drives
You want one more heartbeat, one more tiny pair of shoes
I just want you to need me the way I still need you
So tell me your calendars, I'll circle all the days
I'll climb back in your timetable, I'll bend, I'll bow, I'll stay
I'll meet you in your bedroom, I'll switch off all the lights
I'll try to give you everything, but will you look at me tonight?
I will agree, I always do, I'll hold the door, I'll carry you
But will you tremble when I kiss you, say my name like you used to?
I will agree, I always do, I'll try to build what you dream of too
But if we fill another nursery, will there be room for me and you?
In the dark between our rooms, I'm rehearsing what to say
I miss your body next to mine, but the words just walk away
Silent family, silent family
Words away!
