Lyrics
Did you notice that silence was alright
And we were getting used to sitting tight?
Comfortable enough without a word to say
And we could spend the whole entire day
Finding the ways to make the
Quiet,
White space
Feel full.
It never seemed so hard as it does now.
It never seemed so hard as it does now.
When you're alone, how do you spend these hours?
Passing time by stopping to smell flowers?
Myself? i've given up on television,
Which leaves my brain more time for indecision.
And finding the ways to make the
Quiet,
White space
Feel full.
It never seemed so hard as it does now.
It never seemed so hard as it does now.
We aren't just marking time.
We're really feeling fine.
We don't push ever on
Until our meeting's done.
We aren't just killing minutes
Waiting til they're finished,
Waiting for the next thing...
To get to something happening...
In fact, sometimes I think we'd
Rather that it never come at all.
Never come at all.
And sometimes simply being together
Is the closest I could ever
Feel to being real.
When you're alone how do you spend these hours?
We time-travelled to youth with special powers.
And we found the way to make the
Quiet,
White space
Feel full.
