Peace And Quiet

[Verse 1]

Every dinner

Turns into a courtroom

Same old story

Same old wound

Name the dates

You keep all the records

Every slight

Filed against the world

[Pre-Chorus]

But I wasn’t there when they let you down

I’m right here now

[Chorus]

Can’t we have some peace and quiet

Just one night where we don’t fight it

Turn the volume down on every ghost

Let the past go sleep outside

I’m begging you

Just once

Tonight

Can’t we have some peace and quiet

[Verse 2]

You pour wine

Like you’re loading bullets

Every sip

Another “remember when”

I watch you

Disappear into the distance

Arguing with people

Who’ll never answer again

[Pre-Chorus]

I’m holding out both my empty hands

I’m on your side

I am

[Chorus]

Can’t we have some peace and quiet

Just one night where we don’t fight it

Turn the volume down on every ghost

Let the past go sleep outside

I’m begging you

Just once

Tonight

Can’t we have some peace and quiet

[Bridge]

I know it hurt you

Yeah

It still hurts you

But if they don’t change

Do we stay the same too?

I’m tired of losing

You to old movies

Playing on a loop

In a dark room

[Chorus]

Can’t we have some peace and quiet

Just one night where we don’t fight it

Turn the volume down on every ghost

Let the past go sleep outside

Look at me

I’m here

I’m trying

Can we write a new scene

Finally write it

I’m begging you

Just once

Tonight

Can’t we have some peace and quiet

[Chorus]

Can’t we have some peace and quiet

Just one night where we don’t fight it

Turn the volume down on every ghost

Let the past go sleep outside

Look at me

I’m here

I’m trying

Can we write a new scene

Finally write it

I’m begging you

Just once

Tonight

Can’t we have some peace and quiet
