Even Silence Knows

Rain the love and fright on me
The night pulls slow like a tide unseen
Can’t you tell the sea is rising high
In the hush between your words and mine

I keep the light you gave in me
Though we stand where dreams can’t breathe

Can’t they see us in love?
Even silence knows
We were more than just a passing storm
Even if we’re ghosts
Your name still falls with every drop
From skies I can't outrun
Can’t they see us in love?

I watch your cup still on the shelf
The dented rim you never fixed yourself
The days dissolve in amber tea
But your echo still sits across from me

And every door creaks like a song
You left where it belongs

Can’t they see us in love?
In the soft remains
Of shadows drawn by windowpane
Even through the rain
Your hand in mine was always warm
Even when undone
Can’t they see us in love?

Great chance, forever
Fell through fingers slow
We broke apart in whispers
But no one needs to know
Just the sea and me
And the fall of something true

Can’t they see us in love?
Even silence knows
We were more than just a passing storm
Even if we fray
You were the place I called my own
Now the waves have won
But can't they see us in love?

Breaking forever
But still in love
