Lyric

Fingertips are fixing up your messy hair

Just a common morning in the quiet air

My words are still a little slow to find their way

But I feel a sudden warmth begin to stay

Even on the walk back home, just side by side

I can find a smile that I don't have to hide

"See you later"—though it’s all I ever say

Deep inside my heart, for you I start to pray

This moment isn't special, it’s just passing by

But I hope it never fades or leaves a lonely sigh

The faint sound of your voice, just calling out my name

Is the reason that I’m here and still the same

I love the way these quiet days just carry on

An unspoken "thank you" swaying like a song

I may not hold you close enough to feel the beat

But just being by your side is all I need

Just seeing how you laugh is all I need (Oh)

I don’t really fit in with the gossip crowd

I just watch your profile while they talk too loud

The way you stop and think when you are deep inside

You don't have to change a thing, just let it glide

I don't want to take this life for granted now

Even common views are changing, I don't know how

Just a simple word you say, so casual and free

Takes me past the person that I used to be

Sometimes these quiet days can fill my heart with fear

Knowing that "forever" might not always be right here

Still, I never want to let your hand go from my own

Even with my weakness, I am not alone

Just knowing that you're here is all I need (Ah)

And if we wake to different mornings far away

I will search my heart for where your name will stay

In a world that’s always spinning, changing every line

The one thing that I want to keep as mine

The only thing I’m wishing for is—

May these quiet days just keep on flowing through

Filling up with all the thanks I never said to you

I can’t give a promise that is big or grand

But if you're laughing here while you hold my hand

I can finally say that it’s enough (Yeah)

I’ll protect these quiet days with all my love
