Lyrics
Would you forgive me if I speak too soft?
Would you excuse me if I don't say enough?
I know I'm shy. Sorry if I come off that way.
Would you forgive me, forgive me?
I stand by this awkward silence.
It's beautiful to me.
Falling like rain.
Feel it pound down on you and me.
If you listen, it sings,
Speaking out louder than all things.
Falling like rain.
Could you resist your wish to cut right through
That resounding nothing here that speaks to you?
Just listen in, and you'll begin to see
Why I give in, let it take over me?
I admire this powerful silence.
It's beautiful to me.
Falling like rain.
Feel it pound down on you and me.
If you listen, it sings,
Speaking out louder than all things.
Falling like rain.
In all of the words of the world I get lost.
Tongue-tied, I'm fine now without that chaos.
So in this moment I want to stay
As silence is...
Falling like rain.
Feel it pound down on you and me.
If you listen, it sings,
Speaking out louder than all things.
Falling like rain.
Falling like rain.
Feel it pound down on you and me.
If you listen, it sings,
Speaking out louder than all things.
Falling like rain.
