Lyrics
[Soft Felt Piano Intro]
The tea still steams on the window sill
We sit in silence, not a word
[Verse 1]
I sit scratching my head, staring at the cup
You nod slightly as if you'd finished reading my thoughts
No need for me to explain what's sad
That furrowed brow you've already translated
[Pre-Chorus]
Some ask and ask yet never understand me
Some guess and guess and still get it wrong ten times
[Chorus]
You read my silence right
Like reading a familiar book
You read my silence right
Without words, still understood completely
[Verse 2]
I sigh, you push the pillow over
I raise a brow, you've already smiled first
One nod in place of a thousand questions
This friendship plays on understanding
[Chorus]
You read my silence right
Like reading a familiar book
You read my silence right
Without words, still understood completely
[Bridge]
Not everything needs to be said out loud
Sometimes silence is how we draw near
You take my hand and pat it, no explanation
[Chorus]
You read my silence right
Like reading a familiar book
You read my silence right
Without words, still understood completely
[Outro]
Silence yet still warm
Look at each other and understand all
[Fade Out]
[End]
