Between sips and silence
Time moves out of sight
Steam rises slowly
Into the quiet light
No words left to say
But I don’t need them anyway
Every pause feels kind
Like it’s teaching me to stay
Between sips and silence
I start to breathe again
Nothing’s pulling at me
Nothing I have to pretend
Between sips and silence
Your name drifts away
I let the moment hold me
Till it fades on its own way
Empty seats, soft sounds
Footsteps fade into the ground
The night leans in real close
Like it knows what I’ve found
I don’t rush, I don’t reach
I just let the feeling be
Every quiet second here
Feels enough to me
Between sips and silence
I start to breathe again
Nothing’s pulling at me
Nothing I have to pretend
Between sips and silence
Your name drifts away
I let the moment hold me
Till it fades on its own way
If tomorrow feels too loud
I’ll remember this calm
Some things heal the heart
Without making a sound
Between sips and silence
I finally feel okay
Between sips
And silence
