The city breathes a million sounds
On these forgotten, lonely grounds
The flashing lights, the passing cars
Beneath a sky without the stars

But when you're here, the world goes silent
A quiet and a beautiful riot
Yeah, when you're here, the world goes silent
Just you and me, my private island

I used to run, I used to chase
A different time, a different place
I built my walls up to the sun
My lonely battle never won

But when you're here, the world goes silent
A quiet and a beautiful riot
Yeah, when you're here, the world goes silent
Just you and me, my private island

It's in the way you look at me
You set my broken spirit free
No need for words, no need to speak
You are the only truth I seek

But when you're here, the world goes silent
A quiet and a beautiful riot
Yeah, when you're here, the world goes silent
Just you and me, my private island
