[Intro] (soft acoustic, room tone) [Verse 1] There’s a screen door swingin’ in the night Same old porch light, same dim light Your boots ain’t by the back step now But I still look for ‘em anyhow [Verse 2] Got your coffee cup by the sink Haven’t moved it, makes me think You might walk in, say my name Like nothin’ ever really changed [Pre-Chorus] Yeah I tell myself I’m doin’ fine But that ain’t true most nights [Chorus] It’s in the quiet I feel you most When the TV’s off and the house goes cold Every little thing starts comin’ back Like your laugh, like where you sat I can run all day, keep movin’ on But I can’t outrun what’s gone Yeah I hold it in till I can’t fight it You’re still here… in the quiet [Verse 3] Neighbors say I’ll be alright Time’ll fix it, give it time But they don’t see these empty rooms Or hear your voice like I still do [Pre-Chorus] Yeah I put on a smile in town But it all falls apart when the sun goes down [Chorus] It’s in the quiet I feel you most When the TV’s off and the house goes cold Every little thing starts comin’ back Like your laugh, like where you sat I can run all day, keep movin’ on But I can’t outrun what’s gone Yeah I hold it in till I can’t fight it You’re still here… in the quiet [Bridge] (stripped, almost spoken) I’d give anything just to hear you say “You’ll be okay” [Final Chorus] (soft build, emotional) Yeah it’s in the quiet I feel you most When the world fades out and I’m alone Every little thing brings you back And I don’t know how to handle that I can run all day, keep movin’ on But I can’t outrun what’s gone Yeah I close my eyes and there you are Never too far… in the quiet [Outro] (fading acoustic) Still here… in the quiet…
