NO WORDS

by Synthetic Division

(lyrics/synths by Shawn Decker, piano/percussion by Alan Siegler, guitar by Bn Whitlow)

--------------------------------------

is this the news I’ve waited for

twenty-two seconds long

one new voicemail

would you

would you mind listening for me

holding my phone so close to your ear

careful so no sound could slip through

that’s just the kind of thing

that a friend should do

eleven seconds in halfway there

I’ve crumbled to the floor

wouldn’t have made a difference

if I had taken the call

no words means who knows

no words could mean anything

no words means who knows

no words means there’s still hope

no words means who knows

no words means there’s mystery

no words means nothing

no words means nothing not a god damn thing

you’re setting my phone on the floor

no need to hold it anymore

the answer in your embrace

your presence

i couldn’t ask for more

no words

no words means I know

no words means I know where I stand
