Three Rounds Quiet

Lyrics

Verse 1
He walked the beach at dawn
Sand stuck in his shoes
Kids built towers by the tide
Still, nobody knew

Salt on his collar
Eyes on the gray
He moved like a shadow
Out of the way

Pre-Chorus
In the pines, he kept on
Counting all his scars
Whispering to the branches
Maybe love lives far

Chorus
Nobody looked my way
Nobody looked my way
I was there all day
Still, nobody looked my way

Verse 2
Next night, slow bar stools
Glass rings on the wood
He stirred one drink for courage
Like a lonely man should

He watched them laugh in circles
Saw their hands meet fast
He smiled at the mirror
Then the moment passed

Pre-Chorus
Back in the dark, he held on
To a wish too small
If somebody said his name
He might not fall

Chorus
Nobody looked my way
Nobody looked my way
I was there all day
Still, nobody looked my way

Bridge
Morning found the sheets cold
Room too still to breathe
A life gone quiet over
What the world wouldn't see

No note on the pillow
Just a bruise of night
Three hard rounds in his head
And a final flight

Chorus
Nobody looked my way
Nobody looked my way
I was there all day
Still, nobody looked my way

Outro
Now the waves keep moving
Like they never knew
One more lonely heartbeat
Lost inside the blue
