Gold in the Hush (versión 2)

Verse

Coffee cup ring on the kitchen counter

Monday morning and I'm still here

Your old sweater draped over the chair

Fading light like it's holding its breath bare

The clock on the wall just started to hum

Six in the evening and it feels too soon

To be done with this part of my day

Left me feeling restless, so I turn up the sway

Pre-Chorus

Tell me is this it? Is this all there is?

Or am I just waiting for the real thing's bliss

Chorus

There's gold in the hush between four and five

Something soft that the light can't divide

I let my chest drop to the floor

This is the hour when I'm living more

So turn down the noise, take out your seat

Let me linger where nobody sees

Every little ache turns to sound

Gold in the hush before you hit the ground

Verse

Sneakers tied with a bit too much slack

Windows wide open so the whole block can chat

Your old guitar leaning against the wall

Collecting dust but it still knows how to call

I used to run from this part of my week

But now I'm sitting still, letting it speak

Somehow all these quiet minutes add up

Like a bank account full of good enough

Pre-Chorus

Tell me is this it? Is this all there is?

Or am I just waiting for the real thing's bliss

Chorus

There's gold in the hush between four and five

Something soft that the light can't divide

I let my chest drop to the floor

This is the hour when I'm living more

So turn down the noise, take out your seat

Let me linger where nobody sees

Every little ache turns to sound

Gold in the hush before you hit the ground

Bridge

Maybe the waiting's just a way of breathing

Slow so you don't miss it, soft like leaving

No clock ticking loud enough to scare me

Just this stillness pulling me near

I used to count down every second till six

But tonight I'm standing on the hourless side

Where the tired and lonely feel like friends again

The kind of tired that turns into gold at the end

Chorus

There's gold in the hush between four and five

Something soft that the light can't divide

I let my chest drop to the floor

This is the hour when I'm living more

So turn down the noise, take out your seat

Let me linger where nobody sees

Every little ache turns to sound

Gold in the hush before you hit the ground
