Verse 1

New Year, Quiet Room
You were a light inside my hands
Moving just enough to leave
Every hand that tried
I stayed still, gave you space
Didn’t need to say a word
You kept drifting in your way
‘Til you let yourself be heard

Pre-Chorus
Step by step
You came close
No sound
But I know

Chorus
Miyaki in the quiet
Never needed words to say
Every time you tried to call me
It would almost fade away
Miyaki in the silence
I was learning how to stay
In the space between your breathing
You were closer every day

Verse 2
Only had a couple days
Felt like something I could keep
Four hours just to take you home
Then I had to leave
Now you’re somewhere far from here
Getting used to different hands
And I wonder when I see you
Will you know me like you did

Pre-Chorus
Same slow steps
Same soft eyes
Will you stay
This time

Chorus
Miyaki in the quiet
Never needed words to say
Every time you tried to call me
It would almost fade away
Miyaki in the silence
I was learning how to stay
In the space between your breathing
You were closer every day

Bridge
If I come back different
Will you feel the same
Or will I wait in silence
All over again

Final Chorus
Miyaki in the quiet
If I see you will you stay
Or will I learn your distance
The same quiet way
