Blue on the Line: lyrics
- The window frame is cold against my ear.
- I watch the ink bleed out across the sky.
- I hear your breathing, heavy, close, and clear,
- A long-distance way to say goodbye.
- The kitchen clock is ticking on your end.
- I’m counting seconds just to fill the space.
- We’re holding on to ghosts of what we planned,
- While evening light erases every trace.
- It’s all in the air between us.
- It’s all in the words we don’t say.
- The quiet is louder than talking.
- The quiet is giving us away.
- You start to speak and then you catch your breath.
- I move the curtain back to see the stars.
- We’re dancing round a slow and steady death,
- Two voices trapped inside these plastic bars.
- There isn't any news left to report.
- The weather's just a way to stall the time.
- The tether that we kept is pulling short,
- Until the dial tone is the only rhyme.
- It’s all in the air between us.
- It’s all in the words we don’t say.
- The quiet is louder than talking.
- The quiet is giving us away.
- If I hang up, the world stays just as still.
- If you stay on, the dark will never break.
- We’re waiting for the other’s tired will,
- To name the heavy thing we cannot shake.
- It’s all in the air between us.
- It’s all in the words we don’t say.
- The quiet is louder than talking.
- The quiet is giving us away.
