A Crack in the Window

And as I lay beside you I watch the words etch into the walls I feel you leave as your pillow weight falls I've tried to let the ceiling close in And shut the screen on my eyes Waiting for the silence to begin If only the noise would ever end I count the heart beats racing And take a deep breath Still, I always thought I'd have nothing like this She opens all the windows And she offers all and the wind blows While she lays in my openness And stays with the voices locked away The floor boards shake, oh the creeks she makes Pushes all boundaries And when her love is put on mute It's heard from miles and miles away I think her tropes and all her goals Keep her so pretty Might keep her from me Might keep her from me And as I laid beside you I tried to preserve how it felt I don't ever think I could live without
