Shunt Lyrics

"Don't you hate this kind of silence?"

Took me by surprise

I didn't know what to say

"Isn't something I thought before"

Couldn't take my gaze off the glass

The air was heady

And when I tried to speak a word

"Listen I don't mind we can stay like this"

I wish I'd seen your smile before

With other sounds

In other places

What if our luck can't change

And only when you leave the room

I will find something to say

Memories are only here to fade

We met again for five nights

Across the park near the lake

The city murmur was far away

And buildings wee only silhouettes

"I am still waiting for him"

A punch before a kiss out of nowhere

Words were falling from great heights

Hollow sounds

Crowded places

The kind of noise an heartbreak makes

I can still recall your hair

The brown coat and your perfume

While you were walking away

I wish I'd seen your smile before

With other sounds

In other places

What if my luck can't change

Took a train and I went home

Empty shades

Marked faces

Memories are only here to fade
