Quiet

(album: Butterflies In My Head - 2021)

When I'm alone in silence
It ain't really quiet
'Cause in my head there's sirens
When you're not there
Name it and I've tried it
It only amplified it
But with you on Orcas Island
It's quiet there

The noise, it don't sound like it use to
I can't smell that lavender perfume
Nothing calms me down quite like you do
And I'm spinning out

When I'm alone in silence
It ain't really quiet
'Cause in my head there's sirens
When you're not there
Name it and I've tried it
It only amplified it
But with you on Orcas Island
It's quiet there, it's quiet there

Won't wait around for another burn-out
I've been there before, I know how it turns out
I've seen what's to see here, the air ain't no sweeter
Hold me 'cause I'm spinning out

When I'm alone in silence
It ain't really quiet
'Cause in my head there's sirens
When you're not there
Name it and I've tried it
It only amplified it
But with you on Orcas Island
It's quiet there, it's quiet there
It's quiet there

Take it or you leave it
So I guess that I'm leaving
And if you can hear me
Meet me there
You take it or you leave it
So I guess that I'm leaving
And if you can hear me
Meet me there

When I'm alone in silence
It ain't really quiet
'Cause in my head there's sirens
When you're not there
Name it and I've tried it
It only amplified it
But with you on Orcas Island
It's quiet there, it's quiet there
It's quiet there
