Tap Twice

Gracious hands of hearing
Lying next to me
When I don't know if you're sleeping
But you oughta be

I just wanted to protect you
With your shaking hands
And old shoes
I just thought that you might grow
To understand

I tap twice on your doorframe
And you let me in
I tap twice on your forehead
And a heart appears
It seems like you're only high
When you're holding your breath
You're only bright when
You're broken in half

When we met a few years back
You didn't warm to me
And I left oranges in your bedroom
Like an offering

And I see you in the future
You look just the same but older
And I wave to you but I don't slow my pace

I tap twice on your doorframe
And you let me in
I tap twice on your forehead
And a heart appears
It seems like you're only high
When you're holding your breath
You're only bright when
You're broken in half

And I almost broke my wrist
Trying to bring you back
And you thrashed around
Like goldfish in a garbage bag

It seems like you're only high
When you're holding your breath
You're only bright when
You're broken in half
