Lyrics
Verse One
She Won?t Turn Around
There?s Nothing in my Direction;
She Won?t Hear a Sound,
Cuz? it?s Quiet as a Grave
Chorus One
All Those Things That Got Left Unsaid,
They?re the Lines I Remember the Most;
I Get to Shout ?em all out Every Night in my Head
On a Stage That?s Lined With Ghosts
Verse Two
Love Passed Away
It Walked Out in Her Direction;
There?s no Stone to Say
That I Get to Rest in Peace
Chorus Two
I Can?t Really Say She Left Me Out in the Cold,
Because I Never Really Tried the Door;
And Because I Never Really Tried to Put my Pride on Hold,
Well I Find Myself Alone Once More
Chorus Two
Bridge:
You Can?t Sit Back and Play the Quiet Part
There is Too Much on the Line;
You?ve Got to Shout it all out, or it?s Back to the Start,
It?s all Just a Matter
It?s all Just a Matter
It?s all Just a Matter of Time
Verse Three
East Facing Town
Sunrise in her Direction
She Won?t Hear a Sound
I?m Quiet as a Grave
