“Stay Quiet” is about a relationship that had a beautiful start, but a slow and emotionally painful end. It adds to the somber theme of Jeremy’s album Motions.
The song is about Jeremy and how he doesn’t want a relationship to end. He knows the correlation is coming to an end, but thinks they’d be...
[Verse 1]
Hold me close tonight
Until you start to know the truth
Shut your lips before
I spill my heart and soul to you, uhuhoh
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what you saw
My camera roll says it all
Jump in my arms and fall (Hmm-mm)
[Chorus]
Stay quiet, be my love
This silence burns me up
Stay quiet, be my love
This silence fucks me up
[Verse 2]
Rather turn away
Than face the way we're supposed to feel
Take a breath and hold it in
So I know it's real, ohohoh
[Pre-Chorus]
I knew you were there for me
But you wouldn't dare to speak
I'm loving you carefully (Hmm-mm)
[Chorus]
Stay quiet (Quiet), be my love
This silence (Silence) burns me up
Stay quiet, be my love
This silence fucks me up
[Break]
I've been trapped inside my mind
And lately I don't give a fuck, give a fuck
I've been trapped inside my mind—don't give a fuck
I've been trapped inside my mind
And lately I don't give a fuck, give a fuck
I've been trapped inside my mind—don't give a fuck
I've been trapped inside my mind
And lately I don't give a fuck, give a fuck
I've been trapped inside my mind—don't give a fuck
I've been trapped inside my mind
And lately I don't give a fuck, give a fuck
I've been trapped inside my mind—don't give a fuck
I've been trapped inside my mind and lately I don't
[Bridge]
Stay quiet, be my love
This silence fucks me up
[Verse 3]
I needed love, you needed me (Stay quiet)
If this ain't the old us, then what the fuck we goin be (Be my love)
Stressed out all day in my head all night (This silence)
Trying make some sense of these same fucking fights (Burns me up)
[Outro]
Holding on (Stay quiet)
Loving from afar (Be my love)
You're the one (This silence)
Making this so hard (Burns me up)
Holding on (Stay quiet)
Loving from afar (Be my love)
You're the one (This silence)
Making this so hard (Burns me up)
Stay quiet, be my love
This silence
