Awkward Silence

[Verse] Under the moonlight, we're standin' still, Nothin' to say, but we've got time to kill, Your hands in your pockets, kickin' at the dirt, I'm watchin' the stars, pretendin' it don't hurt. [Verse 2] Crickets are chirpin', fillin' up the air, Both of us stranded in our own despair, You sigh like the wind, I shift my weight, In this uneasy moment, love's at stake. [Chorus] In the awkward silence of a Tennessee night, We're two hearts tangled in an invisible fight, Neither wants to leave, neither wants to stay, Stuck in the middle 'til the break of day. [Verse 3] Past the old barn, the fireflies dance, But we're locked in place, lost in a trance, Blame it on pride or fear of the end, From lovers to strangers, silence is our friend. [Chorus] In the awkward silence of a Tennessee night, We're two hearts tangled in an invisible fight, Neither wants to leave, neither wants to stay, Stuck in the middle 'til the break of day. [Bridge] Maybe someday, we'll find the words, To mend this quiet that's gone unheard, But for tonight, under the Milky Way, We'll stay in this silence where unspoken secrets lay.
