Verse 1

I count the seconds in the elevator glass

Your name still waits where the numbers pass

Cold coffee trembling beside the door

I know that silence, I know it before

Pre-Chorus

You said the morning would loosen its grip

But dawn came in with a tightening fist

Chorus

Keep your voice low, let the room stay still

I can feel you near me against my will

One more word and the walls might move

Keep your voice low, I still know the truth

Verse 2

The hallway clock has a chipped black face

It holds each minute in the same place

Your coat hangs crooked, one sleeve turned in
