I can't recall where I left—
I left my mind, I left my mind
It's somewhere in the rubble of an argument
And hard to find, it's hard to find
I watched as the words were formed
And left your mouth, left your mouth
And how you tried to put them back
Once they were out, once they were out

And how I envy the birds
I envy the birds
Soaring in the silence
Soaring in the silence

You raised your voice more and more
Into a scream, into a scream
Spraying bullets of grievances
Carelessly, carelessly
It took so long to get nowhere
It got so loud, it got so loud
And in my mind I disappeared
Into the clouds, into the clouds

And how I envy the birds
I envy the birds
Soaring in the silence
Soaring in the silence

'Cause when we speak without words
Then no one gets hurt
It's safer where it's quiet
It's safer when it's quiet

Speak without words
No one gets hurt
Speak without words
No one gets hurt
It's safer where it's quiet

Speak without words
No one gets hurt
Speak without words
No one gets hurt
It's safer where it's quiet

Speak without words
No one gets hurt
Speak without words
No one gets hurt
It's safer where it's quiet

Speak without words
No one gets hurt
Speak without words
No one gets hurt
It's safer where it's quiet

It's safer where it's quiet
