How Heavy the Quiet That Grew Between Your Mouth and Mine

How heavy the quiet that grew between your mouth and mine
I'll bet it weighs more than anybody that I could find
We filled it words in the hope that we could drown it out
But it was too loud
It was too loud

How heavy the silence that grows in between our two mouths
It weighs me down more than anybody you have since found
We filled with words in the hope that we could drown it out
Out, out, out
But it was too loud
It was too loud
I can still hear it now in between every sound
That comes out of your mouth
As I stand in the crowd
And you know I'm proud
Of the words you've now found
I wish you wouuld wait
Until I was not around
