Corner Table Silence

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I sit at the corner table, espresso breathing steam, The screen is dark, no buzz, just the hum of a quiet dream. A notebook opens like a book, my pen pauses on paper, The barista’s laugh rings out, a rhythm that feels like prayer. [Pre‑Chorus] Outside the rain taps a syncopated beat, The city’s heart slows in this hush, a gentle retreat. [Chorus] I’m listening to the silence, louder than the street, It whispers in my palm, a soft familiar beat. I find a story in the pause, where my thoughts collide, And in that quiet space, my heart’s voice rides. [Verse 2] I watch a stranger’s hand write words that flutter like leaves, Ink drying, a memory carved in a page of sleeves. The scent of cinnamon lingers, the coffee’s bittersweet, I taste the past in the present, a flavor I’ll repeat. [Pre‑Chorus] The phone stays still, yet silence hums inside, A song waiting, humming patient, ready to glide. [Chorus] I’m listening to the silence, louder than the street, It whispers in my palm, a soft familiar beat. I find a story in the pause, where my thoughts collide, And in that quiet space, my heart’s voice rides. [Bridge] If I look up, the window cracks with a sunrise, Colors bleed, a promise in light that rises. I close my eyes, feel the day unfolding, The silence turns to choir, a heart’s own calling. [Chorus] I’m listening to the silence, louder than the street, It whispers in my palm, a soft familiar beat. I find a story in the pause, where my thoughts collide, And in that quiet space, my heart’s voice rides. [Outro] When the cup is empty, I rise, the city calls, The silence still inside me, a secret that never falls.
