Halfway Quiet

(hummmmm) Another quiet afternoon

The shadows stretch across the room

I'm alone and it's okay

I don't need much

anyway

It's a quiet kind of sad

The best peace I've ever had

Nobody calls, nobody's here

And my mind is finally clear (ooh)

I watch the tea

cool in the cup

No expectation to look up

The silence doesn't feel like weight

Just a simple, empty slate

Sometimes the ache is just a friend

That helps me learn to bend (ahhhh)

I'm

alone

And it's okay
