Lyrics

Addicted To The Quiet

[Verse 1]
Used to chase the loudest room
Every night, another crowded bloom
Bright talk, small talk, same perfume
Left me empty, walking home too soon

Then one slow morning, sunlight stayed
Coffee cooled, but my heartbeat changed
Silence sat beside me on the couch
And I breathed like I’d climbed out

[Chorus]
Now I’m addicted to the quiet (mmm)
The way my shoulders fall, my worries stay private
One clear breath
And I’m higher than I ever got on chaos
Once you taste this gentle side
You keep it close, you guard it with your life
I’m hooked on peace, on peace
I’m hooked on peace, and I won’t let go (oh no)

[Verse 2]
Friends still call me to the storm
Same old table, same old worn-out norms
I smile, I love them, but I know
Too much noise, I lose my glow

So I draw a little border ‘round my day
Light a candle, put my phone away
Talk to myself like a long-lost friend
Let the soft thoughts flood back in

[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m addicted to the quiet (so sweet)
The way the world slows down when I don’t fight it
One deep breath
And the shadows slide right off my shoulders
Once you feel that gentle tide
You rearrange your world to fit the ride
I’m hooked on peace, on peace
I’m hooked on peace, and I won’t let go

[Bridge]
It’s a small thing
Tea steam and a windowpane
But it keeps me sane
When the headlines howl my name (oh)
So I choose calm
Like I choose my clothes each day
If it doesn’t fit my spirit
I just walk away

[Chorus]
I’m addicted to the quiet (my cure)
To the steady little truth that I am safe here
One slow breath
Turns the rush into a distant echo
Once you taste a life like this
You guard your joy like it’s your final wish
I’m hooked on peace, on peace
I’m hooked on peace, and I won’t let go
I’m hooked on peace, on peace
I’m hooked on peace
And I won’t let go (mmm)
