Flickers in the Dark

The kitchen light is casting shadows on the wall (hm-mmm) The humming

of the fridge is keeping time We leave our secrets hanging in

the hall

And trace the grout along the white tile line

You spin the coffee mug around and 'round

We say so much without a single sound

Say it now before the morning steals the space

Say it now before we lose this fragile place (please) Don't let

the silence win tonight

Underneath the dim light

Half-finished cup is growing cold between us now

We circle back to what we avoided saying

You trace a pattern on the counter brow

And wait to see which card I am playing

Say it now before the morning steals the space

Say it now before we lose this fragile place (please) Don't let

the silence win

tonight

Underneath the dim light

Just a hum in the dark (hm-mmm)

Before the light comes back
