Lyrics The Quiet - Imogen Heap, Baths

The Quiet

Oh, what to say
When the right words fail to find the light of day
Oh, when everything is lost
And mixed feelings seed the hurricane of our hearts
'Cause the trouble with you
Is the trouble with me
As the weeks and months and years dragged on
When we didn’t do our thing
Oh, to lift a smile
Do we have to raise the dead?
You know far too much
Regret hangs off your head
In the time that it takes for a smile to cross the room
In the time that it takes to be finally understood
In the time that it takes from being one of us to two
Is the time it takes to make the break to win at life
Again
Stargazer, storm chaser
Bought for dust, sold for gold
But will the true cost ever be known?
Can I even begin
To comprehend what you must’ve been through?
You’re still tunneling dirt
To escape the hurt
In the time that it takes for a smile to cross the room
In the time that it takes to be finally understood
In the time that it takes from being one of us to two
Is the time it takes to make the break to win at life
Again
How far will you go?
This calls for drastic measures
When you’re so far away
So far away from pleasure
Can somebody mediate?
'Cause your love comes across as hate
These pieces just don’t add up
Listen, listen to the quiet voice
Of your heart
Listen to the quiet voice
Of your heart, of your heart
Listen to the quiet voice
Listen to the quiet voice
Listen to the quiet voice
Listen to the quiet voice
Who’s saving who?
In the time that it takes, for a smile to cross the room
In the time that it takes, to be finally understood
In the time that it takes, from being one of us to two
Is the time it takes to make the break to win at life
In the time that it takes, for a smile to cross the room
In the time that it takes, to be finally understood
In the time that it takes, from being one of us to two
It’s the time it takes the moon to rise
We can start anew, let’s win at life again
Oh, silent world
Rest assured that love lies beyond words
