Silence
Frank Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I go to your place in the afternoon
To take the last drag of the honeymoon
I take a deep breath coming up for air
A crocodile smile and a silent prayer

BRIDGE
Maybe I've come too early
But I'll sit back here and sip my daiquari
Something tells me I am welcome,
I'll come down, just see what happens

CHORUS
Silence while we catch our breath
And we're lying hand in hand in the heatwave baby
Silence, I love you to death
But get over it soon, I'm not done with you

I wonder what I was like as a lover
And I wonder, could there have been many others?
I wonder (silence) what I was like as a lover (silence)
And I wonder (silence), could there have been many others (silence)?





Chorus to fade

Line by Line Meaning

I go to your place in the afternoon
I visit you during daytime


To take the last drag of the honeymoon
To take the last breath of our intimate time together


I take a deep breath coming up for air
I take a deep breath to refresh myself


A crocodile smile and a silent prayer
I smile deceitfully, while silently hoping for the best


Maybe I've come too early
Perhaps, I am here ahead of schedule


But I'll sit back here and sip my daiquari
I'll relax and have a daiquiri


Something tells me I am welcome
I feel like I am welcome


I'll come down, just see what happens
I'll stick around and wait to see how things unfold


Silence while we catch our breath
Let us take a moment of peace, to regain our strength


And we're lying hand in hand in the heatwave baby
We are holding hands while enduring the hot, tense situation


Silence, I love you to death
Sometimes, silence is the best way to show affection


But get over it soon, I'm not done with you
However, we shouldn't dwell in silence for too long, there is still more to come


I wonder what I was like as a lover
I ponder on what kind of lover I was


And I wonder, could there have been many others?
I question if there were other lovers in your life


I wonder (silence) what I was like as a lover (silence)
I continue to think about my performance as a lover in silence


And I wonder (silence), could there have been many others (silence)?
I still contemplate if there have been other lovers in your life, in silence
