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 and you felt enough
You can hear it in the silence You can feel it on the way home You could see it with the 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 For once you let go of your fears, your ghosts One step, not much but it said enough You kiss on side walks, you fight then 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 You can feel it on the way home You could see it with the lights out You are in love True love You are in love
And so it goes, you two are dancing in the snowglobe 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 spent my whole life trying to put it into words
