Your Real Voice

Say It in the Hallway
Say It in the Hallway

Conference party, polished glasses
Everybody dressed to be seen
We keep finding reasons to pass close
Never say what either one means
You touch my sleeve by the elevator
I make a joke and let it die
We are both too good at flirting
When there are a hundred alibis

Take away the music
Take away the crowd

Say It in the Hallway where nobody is watching
Say It in the Hallway with the bad light on us
If it survives the silence after all that noise
Say It in the Hallway, let me hear your real voice

Say It in the Hallway
Say It in the Hallway

Half past two by the ice machine
No heels, no jacket, no performance left
You hold a paper cup and laugh
At how ordinary we look undressed
And still I want to stand closer
Still you don't look away
So the party wasn't making this
It only gave us somewhere not to say it

Say It in the Hallway where nobody is watching
Say It in the Hallway with the bad light on us
If it survives the silence after all that noise
Say It in the Hallway, let me hear your real voice

Good lighting made it easy
Bad lighting made it true
If it survives bad lighting, maybe it's real
That lost room-service menu was proof enough

Say It in the Hallway, no music underneath
Say It in the Hallway, stand this close to me
If it survives the silence after all that noise
Say It in the Hallway, I already made my choice

Say It in the Hallway
