Hush now,
Be still and listen to your breathing
There is a hum beneath the beating of my heart
Hush now,
Oh can't you feel that silent violence
The push and pull of that desire, of that need
And yes, a dogfight's in my chest
And it is tearing me asunder
I can't ignore this hunger for you
And as I dance out in the darkness
With these eyes bright and wide with wonder
Oh no, I can't ignore this hunger for you
Don't speak,
Because I don't know what I'm thinking
Not sure to trust these crumpled feelings at my feet
Don't speak,
'Cause words are feeble from this distance
All we have left is our resistance to this need
And yes, a dogfight's in my chest
And I can feel my knees turn rubber
And I can't resist this hunger for you
And as I dance out in the darkness
With these eyes bright and wide with wonder
I’ll find I can't ignore this hunger for you
Won't go, can't stay - what would you have me do?
Tired and torn with wanting for you
And yes, a dogfight's in my chest
And it is tearing me asunder
And I can't ignore this hunger for you
Don't leave me dancing in the dark
Don't look at me with eyes that wonder
'Cause I can't ignore this hunger for you
Hush now, be still and listen to your breathing
There is a hum beneath the beating of my heart

just like a wake-up call two seconds too soon
when i am startled out of sleeping
and washed over in blue
and my heart’s chasing this unnamed, fleeting feeling
that’s gone off there with the evening
as the sun peeks all over you
and like a half-remembered dream i keep on thinking
that i’ve messed up all the reasons and the details
that brought together truth
and this "we" of ours, a word left untranslated
i wish i’d seen it, i could have seized it
freeze-framed it so i wouldn’t have had to fall
it was all sleight of hand, accidental trick
this crime of opportunity
my pockets emptied of affections
i cannot really afford to really feel
and what is worse is i can’t blame you
i can’t get mad or even shame you
for an unexpected something
that neither of us would have known
and i wonder
do you see a half-made memory of me
your eyes, that smile, your voice
calling out my name
and i—
i wonder if it's right at all
to want to say goodbye
we’ll chalk it up to déjà vu
this love from me to the ghost of you
and me and everything
that we could have
ever tried to be
let’s not define ourselves by what we’re not
maybe one day we’ll time it right
but for now let’s breathe
and let go
at the count of three

When people ask what it is that I do, I tell them simply:
I write about people, about feelings,
about people who make me feel and what they make me feel. When I set my fingers over the piano keys or curl these around a pen, I tell the music all the things that my heart knows and if I am lucky it will give me a tune.
Hello, my name is Noelle Pico and I write songs.
