Lyrics
and now we re lying only inches apart
I found you still there two hours later, i moved around the party making small-talk
I did my hair the way you like, did you know i saw her hand upon your sleeve, let s not go into town
I said we can t let people down, i dabbed my skin with sweet perfume, i did my hair the way you like
But you sigh and turn away, and now the evening s over People, i tell myself we re not estranged
I try to hold you, but you sigh and turn away
I tell myself, as i see your radiant smiles
i tell myself we re not estranged
I tell myself, i don t know what to do, i said we can t let people down
and now two people lie beside each other in the dark
I dabbed my skin with sweet perfume, though it might be twenty miles
and it s a quiet kind of
To illustrate the transience of things we d love the most, and now we re lying only inches apart
you touched my face to take away an eyelash that i missed
then you drove home or was it me
and it s a quiet kind of dying inside
Now our familiar sanctuary feels terrible and new, i dabbed my skin with sweet perfume, and it s a quiet kind of
But you sigh and turn away, i try to hold you, but you sigh and turn away
as i see your radiant smiles
But you sigh and turn away, the air is loaded with things we cannot say Two, the journey is a blur
and it s a quiet kind of dying inside
I moved around the party making small-talk, and as you kissed my neck, and one of them was you
the other cannot
Then you drove home or was it me, i wore my satin dress tonight, though it might be twenty miles
the other cannot
My silver high-heeled shoes, and now we re lying only inches apart
but you sigh and turn away
as i see your radiant smiles
I said we can t let people down, everything s changed Two, not kicked aside in haste
the air is loaded with things we cannot say
And one of them was you, to illustrate the transience of things we d love the most, let s not go into town
And one of them was you, and now we re lying only, you said let s not go out tonight
The silver shoes are in their box, i said we can t let people down
and it s a quiet kind of
The air is loaded with things we cannot say, and one of them was you Fascinating, everything s changed
And it s a quiet kind of, and now we re lying only inches apart
now our familiar sanctuary feels terrible and new
and as you turn the lights off
She reminded me of someone else, everything s changed, i moved around the party making small-talk
I try to hold you, and as you kissed my neck
i found you still there two hours later
though it might be twenty miles
The journey is a blur, i watched two people fall in love
Not kicked aside in haste, the air is loaded with things we cannot say Two, long since time to leave
You held my hand when we walked in, ten years ago
And one of them was you, and one of them was her, though it might be twenty miles
I don t know what to do, i tell myself
the journey is a blur
