[English]

One look, dark room,

meant just for you

Time moved too fast,

you play it back

Buttons on a coat,

lighthearted joke

No proof, not much,

but you saw enough

Small talk, he drives

Coffee at midnight

The light reflects the chain on your neck

He says, "Look up"

And your shoulders brush

No proof, one touch,

but you felt enough

You can hear it in the silence,

silence (you)

You can feel it on the way home,

way home (you)

You can see it with the lights out,

lights out

You are in love,

true love

You are in love

Morning, his place

Burnt toast, Sunday

You keep his shirt,

he keeps his word

And for once, you let go

Of your fears and your ghosts

One step, not much,

but it said enough

You kiss on sidewalks

You fight and you talk

One night, he wakes,

strange look on his face

Pauses, then says

"You're my best friend"

And you knew what it was,

he is in love

You can hear it in the silence,

silence (you)

You can feel it on the way home,

way home (you)

You can see it with the lights out,

lights out

You are in love,

true love

You are in love

And so it goes

You two are dancing in a snow globe,

'round and 'round

And he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown

And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars

And why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words

'Cause you can hear it in the silence,

silence (you)

You can feel it on the way home,

way home (you)

You can see it with the lights out,

lights out

You are in love,

true love

You are in love

You can hear it in the silence,

silence (you)

You can feel it on the way home,

way home (you)

You can see it with the lights out,

lights out

You are in love,

true love

You are in love

You were in love,

true love

You're in love

You can hear it in the silence,

silence (you)

You can feel it on the way home,

way home (you)

You can see it with the lights out,

lights out

You are in love,

true love

You are in love

You can hear it in the silence,

silence (you)

You can feel it on the way home,

way home (you)

You can see it with the lights out,

lights out

You are in love,

true love

You are in love

You can hear it in the silence,

silence (you)

You can feel it on the way home,

way home (you)

You can see it with the lights out,

lights out

You are in love,

true love

You are in love
