Tapping Fingers
Karin Elizabeth Dreijer
Let me know
If this is the last day
We run our bodies as we go to sleep
Tapping fingers as a way to speak
This is how
Building a nest of pins
A head to rest on a limb
Waiting to get longer
I pull out an arm to touch you
You're soft
I'm in the parking lot
Ready to pick you up
Ready to burst
Ready to curse the few hours we've got
Who am I while wanting you?
Are they laughing at my thin skin?
It's better than sleeping though
Yeah, it's better than sleeping though
It's better than sleeping though
Yeah, it's better than sleeping though
Let me know
If this is the last day
We run our bodies as we go to sleep
Tapping fingers as a way to speak
This is how
Building a nest of pins
A head to rest on a limb
It's better than sleeping though
Everything's better than sleeping though
