You need a quiet room to think, a moment of silence, and just a little peace. Here are the three key parts of the song: the busy room, the loud sound, and the quiet wish.

The Noise

Too many words in the air

Feet moving fast on the floor

A loud sound at the door

The Request

Please lower your voice now

I need a break from the talk

Let time slow down for a walk

The Peace

Close your eyes and just breathe

Wait for the loud noise to leave

Now I can think in the dark

You’re pacing up and down the hardwood floor

Spilling every thought that walks through your doorI’ve got a deadline creeping up at noon

But you’re humming a completely different tune

My screen is blinking with a blank white page

While you are turning this room into your stage

I love your voice, I love your point of view

But right now I have got too much to do

So darling, hush, just for a little while

Hold that thought and put it on a file

Give me twenty minutes of a silent room

Before my focus meets a sudden doom

I need to lock it in and concentrate

Your news is good, but it can surely wait

Just press pause upon the sonic rush

My mind is racing, so I need you to hush.

You’re tapping pencils, clicking with your tongue Singing melodies that haven't yet been sung

I’m reading lines but skipping every word

Your background commentary’s all I’ve heard

The coffee's brewing and the clock goes tick

I need to get this finished really quick

I see you opening your mouth to speak

But my mental bandwidth is getting weak.

Oh darling, hush, just for a little while Hold that thought and put it on a file Give me twenty minutes of a silent room Before my focus meets a sudden doom I need to lock it in and concentrateY

our news is good, but it can surely wait

Just press pause upon the sonic rushMy mind is racing, so I need you to hush

Just a little quiet now.

Mute the room.

Let the static clear.

Thank you
