Living Together
Mike Comite
You never want to come
You always have to go
Why can’t we just wake up
Together
And have coffee?
You’re always staying up
When I go to lie down
You come into the room
Late at night and
Turn the light off
Then you just fall asleep
You always want to say
All of the things I really don’t
We pass it back and forth
We’re impatient
And we’re hungry
You‘re never speaking up
You’re always looking down
And when I try to ask
You a question
You can hear me
But you don’t say a thing
I’m always reaching out
You’re always drawing in
Do you think we could be close
For a minute?
Feel a heartbeat
You’re always speeding up
When we’re just standing still
My ear against your chest I
Hear a racehorse
I hear thunder
