code of silence

Intro

(Shh)

Parle tout bas

Personne n'entend

Parle tout bas

Personne n'entend

Not so loud

Verse 1

You keep it low

So I lean in close

I read your lips

Like a note you wrote

You say my name

Soft as a warning

And the room goes still

And nobody knows

Pre-Chorus

Lower

Lower

Don't make a scene

Lower

Lower

You know what I mean

(Our code of silence)

Chorus

The lower you go

The more I play along

The lower you go

The less you need to say

It reads as care

From a table away

That's the code

And the code is how I stay

Post-Chorus

Parle tout bas

Personne n'entend

Parle tout bas

Personne n'entend

Verse 2

Your hand on my arm

Says more than words

One small squeeze

And I know the terms

Smile for the table

Keep it discreet

You don't say stop

You just count to three

Pre-Chorus

Softer

Softer

Nobody wakes

Softer

Softer

Don't pull away

(Our code of silence)

Chorus

The lower you go

The more I play along

The lower you go

The less you need to say

It reads as care

From a table away

That's the code

And the code is how I stay

Post-Chorus

Lower

Softer

Behave

Lower

Softer

Behave

Interlude

Tout va bien

Ne dis rien

Tout va bien

Ta gueule

Bridge

You taught it to me nightly

And I was a quick study

Count of one, I go quiet

Count of two, I go empty

Count of three, and you never

Once looked up to check

I've been leaving at your volume

You just haven't heard it yet

Chorus

The lower I go

The less you can hold

The lower I go

The less I need to say

It reads as peace

In a crowded café

That's the code

And the code is how I get away

Post-Chorus

Lower

Softer

Silent

Lower

Softer

Gone

Outro

Parle tout bas

Je comprends

Parle tout bas

Je comprends

Un, deux, trois
