Silence Lyrics

They got new seats at The Heights Theatre

Other than that though, you know, not that much has changed

They still play old movies for the matinee

The kind you used to love, and the kind I used to hate

But there’s something about the silver screen

As I crack open the beer,

The cashier let’s me think I’m sneaking in

I guess she could see that I need something to feel young again

And for a few fleeting hours it feels like this is all there is

And I thank God because

I’m tired of going home

To an empty room

Turn off the TV and you’re stuck there in the silence

Lord, I’m tired of going home

There’s a hotel bar, up the street at the holiday inn

I go there when I can afford it

Sit there drinking with the traveling salesmen

In a place no one belongs I fit right in

But there’s something about that girl in the corner

In a dress that I can tell she meant for someone else

As she led me to her room for two where she slept by herself

I guess she needs something to feel young again

And for a few fleeting hours it feels like this is all there is

And she said

She’s tired of never going home

Empty rooms and big hotels

And the wine just kind of helps but

Won’t you please distract a lonely girl from hell

She said she’s tired of never going home

And as we laid there in the morning light

She lit up a cigarette and let out a sigh

And I put my jeans on, as the conversation died

And we’re stuck there, in the silence again

In the silence again

And the silence begins

And the silence begins
