No Words Needed
Track 4 of Backboard
[ Lyrics ]
No words needed — just touch, just heat. Your fingers trace the part I never speak, down my spine like a confession I don’t need. Eyes locked, but the story’s incomplete — one more kiss and the silence takes the lead. We used to talk in the light of the door, now the dark’s where we keep score. I hear my name when the rhythm dips, moan like a secret I can’t quite strip. You read my body like braille in the sheets, but you don’t know my grief — no, you don’t know me. No words needed — just touch, just heat. Heartbeat language, pulse without speech. No words needed — just hands, just breath. Love? Not yet. But it feels like it. Left my phone in the living room light, you turn off the world with one hand on my thigh. We don’t plan, we just reappear where the backboard laughs at the weight of the year. No 'how was your day,' no 'I’ve missed you, baby' — just the creak of the frame doing the talking for maybe. I hear my thoughts when the movement stops, but I bite my lip to silence the top. You map my hips like you’ve been inside my dreams, but you don’t know my fears — no, you don’t know me. No words needed — just touch, just heat. Skin like a promise I’m scared to repeat. No words needed — just hands, just breath. Love? Not yet. But it feels like it. We speak in motion, not in meaning. Your love’s a question I’m not even seeking. And when the morning comes with its quiet light, I’ll wear last night like I wore his ring — only tighter. No words needed — just touch, just heat. But silence cuts deeper when it’s all you give. No words needed — just hands, just breath. Love? Not yet. Just heat… just touch…
