lyrics

There it is -
that hollow sound
no footsteps falling on the ground
no rainstorm, no thunderclouds
nothing to write home about

sometimes silence is all there is
it's just difficult to sit with
no answer is an answer, it's just

not the one you were waiting for
oh the weight of those three small words
and the echo still heavier
silence in return

waiting by the telephone
got much easier since cellular, still
comes a time you've got to
draw the line
I think I'm giving up tonight

sometimes silence is all there is
it's just difficult to sit with
no answer is an answer, it's just

not the one you were waiting for
oh the weight of those three small words
and the echo still heavier
silence in return

it's a classic scenario
standing here with the gameshow doors
open one and the rest stay closed
their secrets left untold
so much you just can't know

it's not the one you were waiting for
oh the weight of those three small words
and the echo still heavier
silence in return
no answer
