Break the Silence

Verse

Copper light on the terminal floor

Your suitcase wheels click past the door

I'm folding your napkin note into my palm

Two coffee cups going cold and calm

You hum that same old bossa line

Like leaving me could still feel fine

Pre-Chorus

So what do we do with a clock running out

And a heart that won't scream, only smile and shout

Do I hold you tighter or let you fly

Straight into that turquoise sky

Chorus

I'ma break the silence, dance right through the ache

Play it cool and steady, every step I take

Bittersweet and golden, this goodbye we're in

I'ma break the silence, let the hope walk in

Verse

Your shadow slides across the gate

Six letters spelled out on the slate

I trace them slow like a bassline in June

Any minute now you'll be gone too soon

But I'm snapping fingers, keeping time

Turning our ending into a rhyme

Pre-Chorus

So what do we do with a clock running out

And a heart that won't scream, only smile and shout

Do I hold you tighter or let you fly

Straight into that turquoise sky

Chorus

I'ma break the silence, dance right through the ache

Play it cool and steady, every step I take

Bittersweet and golden, this goodbye we're in

I'ma break the silence, let the hope walk in

Bridge

Maybe distance is just a rhythm we ain't learned

A slow four-count before the tables turn

I'll send you postcards written in a swing

And wait to hear that same old radio thing

Cause somewhere down this runway, love, I swear

There's a rendezvous already parked out there

Chorus

I'ma break the silence, dance right through the ache

Play it cool and steady, every step I take

Bittersweet and golden, this goodbye we're in

I'ma break the silence, let the hope walk in

I'ma break the silence, one more time again
