No Peace In Quiet

(album: The Blackbird Sessions - 2017)

My friends are always over so I'm not alone
And the TV's on the second that they leave
Ghosts don't stand a chance against the radio
That's why I turn the music up to sleep

Cause there's no peace in quiet
Just footsteps on the stairs
Whispers in the silence
Remind me you're not there
There's no peace in quiet

Tonight, I'll lay down knowing you're not coming home
Then I'll swear I hear your keys outside my door
And I'll hate myself for checking as if I don't know
That it's just the wind chimes on the neighbor's porch

Cause there's no peace in quiet
Just footsteps on the stairs
Whispers in the silence
Remind me you're not there
There's no peace in quiet

I hear you standing in the shower
Hear you breathing in my bed
But there's nothing I hear louder
Than the words I never said

Cause there's no peace in quiet
Just footsteps on the stairs
Whispers in the silence
Remind me you're not there
There's no peace in quiet
There's no peace
