Lyrics
The grid roads out of Sandy ran perfect and straight
We were holding our breath in a bedrock of faith
'Til your headlights cut patterns at 3:47 that October
Just a crack in the strata, then the whole thing rolled over
[Chorus]
We felt the first tremor, a whisper on the wire
Not a shout, just a signal you were tired of the choir
And it didn't break mountains, it just rearranged the ground
The silence you left was the most honest sound
[Verse 2]
The heat from the dashboard vents smelled like dust and dried sage
We were all reading lines from a tear-out-the-page

[Chorus]
We felt the first tremor, a whisper on the wire
Not a shout, just a signal you were tired of the choir
And it didn't break mountains, it just rearranged the ground
The silence you left was the most honest sound

We felt the first tremor, a whisper on the wire (A new foundation now)
Not a shout, just a signal you were tired of the choir (We’re on solid ground)
And it didn't break mountains, it just rearranged the ground (A new foundation now)
The silence you left was the most honest sound (We're on solid ground)
[Outro]
Yeah, the silence you left
Was the most honest sound
