about

It's Too Quiet is about the uncertainty and excitement of new love. When you just want to be around someone all the time but aren't sure how they feel about you, so you second guess every text and every phone call before finally just being vulnerable (AH!) and letting the other person know how you feel. I feel like this phase of a relationship is all at once exhilarating and torturous.

lyrics

Days go by ooooo
Can’t deny my love
Nights so long ooo
Pick up your phone

It’s too quiet
Left me here at 3am
I lay awake past sunrise
Can’t deny it
Don’t want to be alone
And keep pretending i’m fine

Can I call you
Again tonight?
I just need to
Get it right
With you

Will you come back baby
Cuz you know that I need your love
I’ve been wondering lately
If i’ll ever be enough
This life is crazy
You don’t have to be alone
Will you come back baby
Or at least pick up your phone eeeeeee

Pick up your phone onn onnnnnne
Pick up pick up pick up pick up

Is it science
Two people meet by chance
And fall in love completely
Wish we could try it
If I go halfway
Will you come out to meet me

Can I call you
Again tonight?
I just need to
Get it right
With you

Will you come back baby
Cuz you know that I need your love
I’ve been wondering lately
If I’ll ever be enough
This life is crazy
You don’t have to be alone
Will you come back baby
Or at least pick up your phone
Or at least pick up your phone
