Deadbeat - Ok With The Silence Lyrics

When you're with someone they say
Silence is not okay
If it's quiet, something's wrong
Usually I'd agree
But when I'm with you
And silence falls on the room
I feel fine, it's okay
Look at me, don't you agree
You tell me that it's not
Please give a second thought
We don't always have to speak
Isn't it electric

Please don't fear the quiet
It's not here to hurt us
It's here to comfort, it's here to nurture us

Doesn't matter what we do
We could be backtracking the streets of downtown looking for my keys
Or eating someplace new
We could be talking deep or we could say nothing in bed watching TV

I have trouble
Staying comfortable
In conversations with anyone I meet
When both I and they
Run out of things to say
It all feels fake
Could you say you relate

But are you not different
To you, am I the same
As all these other faces
You tell me, honestly

Doesn't matter what we do
We could be backtracking the streets of downtown looking for my keys
Or eating someplace new
We could be talking deep or we could say nothing in bed watching TV

All I know is that I hope I can always talk about you in the present tense
All I know is that when I'm with you and you're with me, I'm okay with the silence

Laying on the beach, you help me overcome my fears
Something my friends could not do even when they had years

Doesn't matter what we do
We could be backtracking the streets of downtown looking for my keys
Or eating someplace new
We could be talking deep or we could say nothing in bed watching TV

All I know is that I hope I can always talk about you in the present tense
All I know is that when I'm with you and you're with me, I'm okay with the silence
All I know is that I hope I can always talk about you in the present tense
All I know is that when I'm with you and you're with me, I'm okay with the silence

Please don't give up
Don't leave me be
Please don't lose touch
Please stay with me
Please don't give up
Don't leave me be
Please don't lose touch
Please stay with me
