The Wonder of Silence

Give me a kiss before you leave

I know you’ll be going soon

And I ain’t got the gumption to stop you

And I ain’t got the right to choose

 

So lay down next to me now

Lay your convictions and all those lies far from me

This space between us is thinner

So you have to leave

I guess you have to leave

All right now

 

I would have give’n you my heart

But that’s too much for one to hold

Well all our wants and needs are left unsatisfied

Doesn’t stop us from get’n old

 

Lay down next to me now

Lay your convictions and all those lies far from me

The space between us is thinner

So you got to leave

I guess you have to leave

All right now

 

I’m give’n up on love’n

We’re just getting old

I’m give’n up on want’n

And that leaves me alone

I’m give’n up on trying

Cause we’re already honed

We’re already honed

We’re already honed

 

And I’m still liv’n in the city

I guess that I am still lonely

I know my happiness is my own fault

I just don’t like the responsibility

 

So lay down next to me now

I lay down what I think I can give to you

I lay down parts of my soul

And you pick and choose

Take what you can loose

When you leave me
