lyrics

You drive through Drumcondra, I stare at the glass

Your thumb taps the wheel where the takeaway bags pass

The dash clock says ten-fifteen, and I fold my hands

Your jumper smells like rain from the quays and the vans

No need to fill the dark

No need to map the road

Your silence fits my pulse

Like coins in my coat

Quiet in the car

Quiet in the car

Quiet in the car

Quiet in the car

And I love it like this

Right here with you

At a red on Dorset Street, a man drags a crate

Your knee brushes mine once, then it leaves me to wait

The curry in the footwell warms the paper bag

You turn the heat down low, and I don’t say it back

No need to fill the dark

No need to make it more

The scratches in the seat

Feel like they did before

Quiet in the car

Quiet in the car

Quiet in the car

Quiet in the car

And I love it like this

Right here with you

At the door in Rathmines, your keys ring sharp and small

You look at me once, like you’ve said enough at all

I keep the cold off in my sleeve

And let the moment breathe

Quiet in the car

Quiet in the car

Quiet in the car

Quiet in the car

And I love it like this

Right here with you
