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
