How Music Fits Our Silence

by Birds Are Indie

We were young, well not so young We had already kissed with tongue We didn't need another chance We just really couldn't stop to dance My head against your belly Instead of watching telly We were crazy, not that crazy We had already felt this lazy We didn't need another way We just really couldn't stop to say "Another toast with jelly?..." Instead of watching telly We had time, so much time I was yours and you were mine We had so many, many dreams We'd spent the whole day in museums "I love this Botticelli…" Instead of watching telly

Evelyn 03:54
Evelyn... please make no sound Please, not right now Just let the waves... come back to us Don't be afraid They're on their way Just let the waves... come back to us Let's sing like we used to sing... Let's do what we used to do... Let's sing like we used to sing... Let's be just me and you Evelyn... choose the home you want On this waterfront Just let the waves... come back to us We're half the world apart Nowhere to start But just let the waves... come back to us Let's sing like we used to sing... Let's do what we used to do... Let's sing like we used to sing... Let's be just me and you

Needless to say she's on the move (I’ll go this way) Needless to say she's on her way to him (pa ra ra...) Needless to say she's on her back (I’ll turn this way) Needless to say she's on the run and Running out of love… Running out of love… The northern sky was passing by I tried to figure out the colour... (of your eyes) The northern sky was passing by I'd like to figure out the touch... (of your skin) What do you mean with what... What do you mean with what do you mean?

Black Sun 01:42
The way we talked to each other The way we tried not to bother The way that you came undone You were my black sun The way you waited for me The way you made me believe The way we had so much fun You were my black sun Hallucinated eyes Quick as a gun A part of me dies With you my black sun

If only you could love me back If only you could look at me like that Tell me if maybe means never 'Cause I'm not feeling very clever If only this was possible If only love wasn't an obstacle Tell me if somewhere means here 'Cause I'm not seeing it very clear (my dear...) When at night I close my eyes (you’re always there) Shining bright in the dark (you’re always there) Like if I was looking at you for too long... Two bodies can't be together in the same space I will say it in your face If only I could tell you this If only I could steal you a kiss Tell me if someday means now Because I'm not seeing it somehow When at night I close my eyes (you’re always there) Shining bright in the dark (you’re always there) Like if I was looking at you for too long... Two bodies can't be together in the same space I will say it in your face

So Far 04:00
You went away On a sunny day In the morning You said, I don't want to be found You said, I don't wanna stay On this sunny day In the corner Waiting for then to be now I said it's ok Wherever you are I thought you would say... I thought that you weren't so far

Yellow Leaf 01:53
Yellow leaf, your colour doesn't deceive You've been in the sun for too long And you're tired of being among You're tired of being among... All the others Yellow leaf, you reach the ground with relief You've been in the wind for too long And you're tired of going along You're tired of going along... With all the others I'd love to go deep under with you I'd love to go underneath the dust with you I'd love to go deep under, it's true Oh, yellow leaf, I'd love to go with you

I was having a bad hair day And you came to me just to say Your sneakers are just like mine I felt a shiver down my spine… I was waiting for the bus Wishing it would wait for us Maybe later I can call you I didn't know what to do... He was playing basketball And I was standing by the wall She's so pretty... Hey! Wanna play? I didn't know what to say... I was feeling oh so sad The math teacher was really bad What you're doing after school? I know what it would be cool... Shall I tell him I'm feeling fine? Shall I tell her I'm feeling alright? Shall I say we'll be together, For a long, long time?

Last night I drank too much Maybe that wasn't quite such A good idea... Oh, Maria... Last night I talked way too much At some point I was speaking Dutch #?*/&%"º, Oh, Maria... You got mad Cause I wouldn't stop And I got sad Cause I was just a flop… and I couldn't stop Last night I went too far I'm glad I wasn't driving a car Oh, Maria... Or I'd be in Korea... You got mad Cause I wouldn't stop And I got sad Cause I was just a flop… and I couldn't stop Last night I crawled into a bar It was then you said ‘au revoir’ And just later I found that it means ‘see ya’ Just later I found that it means ‘see ya’ Maria... You're the closest thing to heaven And we were only seven... You're the closest thing to heaven And we were only seventeen

I love Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue It makes me sing and sing like this And I jump like a kangaroo But what I really love is... I love the smell of something new I love the sunny days like this I love to simply have no clue But what I really love is... I love that smelly cat, it's true I love cozy rooms like this I love the way that flower grew But what I really love is... This is how music fills my silence This is how music fits my pain This is how music fits my silence And so I sing it once again I love when someone gets the flu I love simple songs like this I love a quiet dinner too But what I really love is... you

The Place 03:48
Sidewalkingland is the place Sidewalkingland is the bones that I'm growing Sidewalkingland is the place Sidewalkingland is the pace of my pacing Windowgazingland is the place Windowgazingland is the glass that I'm licking Windowgazingland is the place Windowgazingland is the face that I'm facing Apathyland is the place Apathyland's the moan that I'm moaning Apathyland is the place Apathyland's the thought that I'm thinking I've made it through this And I have nothing to say Feel free to go away

There was an old piano inside the old house. Rec was on and we didn't know. And so it ends.
