Jade Leven - Beautiful Quiet

This is a song dedicated to all my friends as we leave middle school. I love all you guys! :)

Tell me, how can a light
that shines so bright
be put out with the lightest touch?
and how can a soul
that's heard rock and roll
love this kind of silence this much?

but you say, listen,
to the beautiful quiet
I can hear my heart wishing on a star
you say, listen,
to the beautiful quiet
please let me be
wherever you are

tell me, how can a home
allow me to roam
but still keep the things that I know?
and how can my friends
say love never ends
and then turn around to go?

but you say, listen,
to the beautiful quiet
I can hear my heart wishing on a star
you say, listen,
to the beautiful quiet
please let me be
wherever you are

we're all going our separate ways
I can't help being afraid of what's in store
but you know I'm here for you
so take my hand and let's go through that open door

listen
to the beautiful quiet
where this road ends, another will start
listen
to the beautiful quiet
we'll never really be apart

as I say, listen,
to the beautiful quiet
I can hear my heart wishing on a star
we both say, listen,
to the beautiful quiet
please let me be
wherever you are.
