Known Softly

(humm-mm-mm) Just a nod across the polished floor

Between the revolving glass and the heavy door

You caught my eye,

and we both withdrew

(hah) Into the quiet shape

of what

we

knew

Not the sting of a sudden break

Or the heavy silence we used to make Just a familiar tilt

of your head

And all the unsaid things we left in bed

Oh,

the sweetness of being known In a crowded lobby,

all alone

We don't have to carry the heavy weight Just a friendly smile

at the closing gate

We shared a language that we don't speak But we read the

letters on each other's cheek

No bitter tears, no sudden flood

Just the warm nostalgia in the blood (mm-hmm)

Oh,

the sweetness of being known In a crowded lobby,

all alone

We don't have to carry the heavy weight Just a friendly smile

at the closing gate

Just a polite smile (so sweet)

In a busy room
