Where Nothing Needs Explaining feat. Matt.ia Songtext
von Penn [BR]

There′s something in the quiet that settles in my chest
Like every restless corner has finally come to rest
Late afternoon is falling through curtains made of lace
You lean against the table with sunlight on your face

Porcelain and wooden floors, soft shadows on the wall
The kettle hums a low refrain, I don't need more at all
Cotton tied around your waist like it belongs right there
The scent of tea and something sweet is floating through the air

You move without performance, no need to rearrange
Every room just breathes you in, and nothing feels out of place
No thunder in the distance, no fire left to prove
Just the weight of something honest in the way you move

You don′t even try to save me, you just stand in the light
And the world inside my head goes quiet every time you're in sight
If peace had a body, if calm had a name
It would sound like your laughter, soft and low like rain

Stay right here in this slow evening
Stay where nothing needs explaining


I've run through crowded cities, I′ve chased what disappears
But every road that led me home was leading to you here
I don′t need a grand horizon, I don't need a brighter sky
All I ever wanted was this stillness in your eyes

The window slightly open, a breeze across the room
A quiet kind of happiness that doesn′t fade too soon
Your fingers trace the tabletop, absent, unaware
While I'm memorizing the way you′re standing there

No stage lights, no applause, no need for golden frames
Just linen, wood, and breathing, and two unspoken names
I see a life unfolding in gestures small and true
Not in words we promise, but in everything you do

There's something in the silence that tells me I am home
Not a place I enter, but a place I′ve always known

You don't even try to save me, you just stand in the light
And the world inside my head goes quiet every time you're in sight
If peace had a body, if calm had a name
It would sound like your breathing, calling mine the same

Stay right here in this slow evening
Stay where nothing needs explaining

We don′t have to move, we don′t have to speak
Love is in the ordinary, simple, warm, and deep
