lyrics

I wrote your line in the margins, black ink in a spiral notebook

Three trains passed Mapo, I still sat there with my cold soup

I timed your silence to the second, like a door I never opened

Then folded up my little speech and put it in my blue jeans pocket

At 11:47, I typed then erased

The mirror by the sink kept my face

One breath in, one breath out

I knew your name, then shut my mouth

Never said it, never said it

Never said it, never said it

I held it tight, then let it sit

Never said it, never said it

I practiced in the elevator, watched the numbers slide from seven

You’d say one thing, I’d say two, then I’d turn and leave by eleven

But when you stood by the shoe rack, tying up that frayed white lace

My whole script slipped through my hands and landed flat across your face

At 11:47, I typed then erased

The mirror by the sink kept my face

One breath in, one breath out

I knew your name, then shut my mouth

Never said it, never said it

Never said it, never said it

I held it tight, then let it sit

Never said it, never said it

Now the page on my desk has coffee stains and a bent corner

Your side of the bed is still warm from the dryer

I laugh in the dark, then I pause at the door

Weeks of my thunder, and still nothing more

Never said it, never said it

Never said it, never said it

I held it tight, then let it sit

Never said it, never said it
