Lyrics:
[Prelude] First light edges past the glass A gentle hush that doesn't last I listen to a distant train Remember how the quiet came A coat hangs silent by the door Familiar shoes upon the floor The world outside is slow to wake Inside it’s hard to know what breaks [Intro] Some nights I hear the hallway creak Moonlight stretches down the street Curtains moving just a bit I lie awake and think of it [Verse 0] The floors are cold beneath my feet A distant car drifts down the street These quiet hours no one sees Are heavy things I keep with me [Verse 1] Sometimes in the morning light I hear the schoolyard come alive Children’s laughter down below I watch quietly from my window There’s coffee cooling in my cup Radio talking low enough I wonder if they notice me On the third floor, nearly unseen [Pre-Chorus] I keep my words so small Let tiny details tell it all I learn to measure what I say Hide the marks that never go away [Chorus] You see me walking home every afternoon Hands in my pockets in the heat of June No one ever really stops to ask If the smile I give is just a mask [Post-Chorus] Mm-mm, just a mask Mm-mm [Verse 2] Neighbors listen through the wall Footsteps echo in the hall Turning faces to the light Wishing things would be all right [Pre-Chorus] There’s a secret on this street Under whispers and retreat But it’s easier to say less Keep the silence, play along, I guess [Chorus] You see me walking home every afternoon Hands in my pockets in the heat of June No one ever really stops to ask If the smile I give is just a mask [Post-Chorus] Mm-mm, just a mask Mm-mm [Post-Chorus] Mm-mm, just a mask Mm-mm [Bridge] Sometimes you hear a distant sound A voice you can't quite figure out You wonder if it's someone else Or maybe just yourself [Verse 3] Shadows stretch across my street Evening presses on my feet Tired eyes and measured pace Everybody has their place [Pre-Chorus] Memories that slip away Like leaves lost on a windy day Another quiet promise made To leave things just the way they stay [Chorus] You see me walking home every afternoon Hands in my pockets in the heat of June No one ever really stops to ask If the smile I give is just a mask [Post-Chorus] Mm-mm, just a mask Mm-mm [Post-Chorus] Mm-mm, just a mask Mm-mm [Outro] So tomorrow, I’ll walk the same old way Hoping silence has something to say Maybe someday someone will see through To the story I never quite let through [Post-Chorus] Mm-mm, just a mask Mm-mm
