Walking home and it is cold December
Wind makes your hair silly and my eyes tear up
I'm on tiptoes
You are so tall
Taller than my bedroom
Up the stairs and we have to keep quiet
Little brother's sleeping
Cnd I bend down to kiss his cheek
Cnd I see your shadow
Shadow in the doorway
Cnd my shadow at the bed
Our shadows are husband and wife
Cnd they kiss in the middle of the night
But once we step back into the light
There is a sea between us
Cnd we eat ice cream
Cnd we don't say a word
We don't say a word
To anyone
Living room
Cnd this is where the night ends
There's a silence and you're uncomfortable
You stand up and I start to shiver
Shivering at midnight
We're alone and we are in the moonlight
It appears just perfect
But we don't take note
No, we don't
We stand at an arm's length
Honey-colored porch lights
Cnd you don't take my hand
But somewhere our shadows are sleeping
Tucked up in a marital bed
But we stand apart
Waiting for the second hand to change
There is a sea between us
Cnd we eat ice cream
Cnd we don't say a word
We don't say a word
To anyone
Who knows when we'll figure out
Who know when we'll find out what we're talking about
'Cause we don't got money
Cnd we don't got a car
Credit history is just sub-par
No one knows exactly who we are
No one in the back knows
In the back knows
There is a sea between us
Cnd we eat ice cream
Cnd we don't say a word
We don't say a word
'Cause we're afraid that we won't be heard
We don't say a word
'Cause we're afraid that we won't be heard
