You fold your arms like you’re holdin’ in thunder,
Eyes stuck on the floor like it might say somethin’.
I pour a drink just to hear the ice clatter—
That sound’s been louder than us lately.
We’re standin’ still but the silence is movin’,
Like there’s a fight in the room nobody’s choosin’.
I reach for your hand, you fake a smile,
It’s been like this for a while…
And I’d rather break than bend,
Say the words and let the hurt begin—
Than sit here sinkin’ in—
We keep sayin’ nothin’… but it’s screamin’ loud,
Like a goodbye dress in a suitcase now.
We’re shufflin’ hearts like cards on the table,
We’re shufflin’ hearts like cards on the table,
Both too scared to lay ‘em down.
We ain’t sayin’ the words, but they’re hangin’ there—
Like smoke in the kitchen, thick in the air.
If love’s still here, it ain’t stayin’…
In all the things… we ain’t sayin’.
You pull your sleeve like you’re fixin’ not to feel it,
I make a joke we both know ain’t real.
Clock ticks slow like it’s beggin’ for mercy…
Ain’t just the walls that are hurtin’.
And maybe love don’t always shout—
But silence?
That’s how it drowns.
We keep sayin’ nothin’… but it’s screamin’ loud,
Like a goodbye dress in a suitcase now.
We’re shufflin’ hearts like cards on the table,
Both too scared to lay ‘em down.
We ain’t sayin’ the words, but they’re hangin’ there—
Like smoke in the kitchen, thick in the air.
If love’s still here, it ain’t stayin’…
In all the things… we ain’t sayin’.

What We Ain't Sayin'

Island State of Mind
Lyrics By: Thomas W. Peterson AKA RedHeart 
 ©COPYRIGHT 8–26-25 All Rights Reserved ©


Verse 1: There was a dreamer with a guitar and a song to sing, About a place where worries fade and freedom's everything, He painted pictures with his words of salt air and lime, A state of mind where it's always five o'clock time. He showed us how to slow it down, leave the rat race behind, Put paradise on the map inside our hearts and minds.

Chorus: He put paradise on the map and called it Margaritaville, Where the pace is slow and the drinks are cold and life is so chill, A place where flip-flops are formal wear and stress just melts away, He put paradise on the map, showed us there's a better way.

Verse 2: It wasn't just about the beach or the tropical breeze, It was about finding that peace of mind that puts your soul at ease, A philosophy of living where you don't take life too hard, Where a sunset and a good friend beat any credit card. He taught us that paradise ain't a place you have to find, It's a laid-back way of living, it's a peaceful state of mind.

Chorus: He put paradise on the map and called it Margaritaville, Where the pace is slow and the drinks are cold and life is so chill, A place where flip-flops are formal wear and stress just melts away, He put paradise on the map, showed us there's a better way.

Verse 3: He built an empire on that dream of living free, From cheeseburgers to concerts by the deep blue sea, But the real treasure that he gave us wasn't gold or fame, It was permission to be happy, to play life like a game. He proved that work and play don't have to be apart, When you're living with an island state of heart.

Bridge: From Nashville to Key West, he spread that island vibe, Showed millions of people how to come alive, It's not about escaping, it's about finding what's real, That simple kind of happiness that money cannot steal.

Final Chorus: He put paradise on the map and called it Margaritaville, Where the pace is slow and the drinks are cold and life is so chill, A place where flip-flops are formal wear and stress just melts away, He put paradise on the map, showed us there's a better way.

Outro: Yeah, he put paradise on the map, In our hearts it will stay, He showed us all a better way, To live life every day.
