Lyrics

QUIET FOR A WHILE
Words & Music by Philip Hetherington © 2025
V1
Sometimes I hate these parties, it’s really not my thing
I ain’t much good at flirting around
But when you asked me to meet you here tonight
Well you know that here is where I'll be found

Chorus 1
But there’s so many voices here
There’s so much noise in here that I
Can't seem to find a way to reach you in this crowd
And there's so much distraction now
When all I really want to know is if somehow, we might find a place to
be QUIET FOR A WHILE.

V2
Man, this place is sideways there’s something in the air
I'd sit down if I could find a chair
I can feel the bass beat vibrating in my bones
But I still don’t see you anywhere

Chorus 2
And there’s so many voices here
There’s so much noise in here that I
Can't seem to find a way to reach you in this crowd
And there's so much distraction now
When all I really want to know is if somehow, we might find a place to
be QUIET FOR A WHILE.
Bridge
And there across the room
I saw you and you saw me too
And we parted the oceans just to get on through
And you took my arm, guided me away
Finally I heard you say

Chorus 3
That there’s so many voices here
There’s so much noise in here
That I couldn’t seem to find a way to reach you in this crowd
And there's so much distraction now
All I really want to know is if somehow, we might find a place to be
QUIET FOR A WHILE.
QUIET FOR A WHILE
