Half Step Down

All the windows are playing their game

Where I won't see outside again

Til I write all the fog away

I'm putting words in their place

Between me and the window's pane

From my inarticulate brain

But all of the fog is erased

When I write all the words that I never said

To you

Now the impulse won't go away

"Distracted by something?" you'd say

Cause you don't see anything

It's just between windows and me

Wait til it rains again

And I write all the words that I never said

To you

Will you try to read these lines?

Focus hard and give it time

Who you are in my life

Reads as the water washes

Now the dirt on the window is showing

I should have drawn something instead

The dirt on the window is showing

I should never have written my head

I should never have written what I never said

To you
