A Space in Between

Fade up, phase out
Day light the way down
How I hoped you'd come around
Patient, I'll pace it out
Cave it in the same amount
And in all my waking hours

To hear you halfway down the hall
And feel you flicker on and off
It's bad enough, it's bad enough
To see the sunlight through your seams
The thread of you and hem of me
It's bad enough, it's bad enough
It's bad enough in between

Seeping, but haven't I known it?
For long enough, in ebbing and flowing
It's still sad to see you go
Crashing, go back and forth
Like passing waves and slamming doors
The sides of my head
The sides of a bell
Just ringing out, all my waking hours

To hear you halfway down the hall
And feel you flicker on and off
It's bad enough, it's bad enough
To see the sunlight through your seams
The thread of you and hem of me
It's bad enough, it's bad enough
It's bad enough in between
