Lyric

We knew the door was there

Down the hall, past the stair

You traced the frame with your thumb

I looked away, said "nothing's wrong"

The sign glowed faint and blue

Like it was calling me and you

But we kept our faces still

Kept our hands on the window sill

Don't ask me what I meant

I felt it, then we bent

We both heard that soft click

And let it die real quick

We kept the exit quiet

We kept the exit quiet

One step and we were free

But we buried it between us

We kept the exit quiet

We kept the exit quiet

Say less, stay close, play dumb

Now we both know what we done

Your coat hung on the chair

Like a promise in the air

Mine was folded by the door

Ready for a life before

Outside, a taxi rolled by

Cutting silver through the night

We watched it leave, then stood

Like we chose the dark for good

Don't ask me what I meant

I felt it, then we bent

We both heard that soft click

And let it die real quick

We kept the exit quiet

We kept the exit quiet

One step and we were free

But we buried it between us

We kept the exit quiet

We kept the exit quiet

Say less, stay close, play dumb

Now we both know what we done

If I say your name out loud

Then the room won't keep us proud

So I bite the truth in half

And call it just "the past"

The hallway knows our lies

Every blink, every alibi

Still, your hand found mine

Like it missed the edge of time

We kept the exit quiet

We kept the exit quiet

One step and we were free

But we buried it between us

We kept the exit quiet

We kept the exit quiet

Say less, stay close, play dumb

Now we both know what we done
