Tap Twice

Gracious sense of you 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 shirking hands and no shoes
I just thought you might grow to understand

I tap twice on your door frame and you let me in
I tap twice on your forehead and your heart appears
It seems like you're only high
When you're holding your breath
Only bright when you're broken in half

When we met a few years back you didn't warm to me
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 swerve my head

I tap twice on your door frame and you let me in
I tap twice on your forehead and your heart appears
It seems like you're only high
When you're holding your breath
Only bright when you're broken in half

And I almost broke my wrist trying to bring you down
And you're just a lonely goldfish in a garbage bag
It seems like you're only high
When you're holding your breath
Only bright when you're broken in half
