Heels clicking, clock ticking
By lunch time you be finger licking...

I build my castle as I reach for the sky
The sand will hold longer than you think...

We lie in ourselves night and day
Crying out through tears...

I'll trust you through the gates you shut on me
I can find you through the winter raining on me...

Hold me
Love me, kill me...

We bind together at the head
As we push our decision into bed...

To the sound of his warm laugh in the winter
To the sound of the car pulling through...

When the night light in the sky dims
And the thunder rolls while I sleep...

Am I what you write about at night?
Your pen and paper know well about me...

I prayed for a cloudy day
So I wouldn't look out the window...

I never thought about you away from home
I never thought I could bear this much pain...

I haven't felt like this in a while
Writing some story against the bath tub...
