Tap Twice Lyrics by Katy Kirby

Cool Dry Place (Expanded)

2020

Gracious and severe and lying next to me
When I don't know if you're sleeping, but you oughta be
I just wanted to protect you, with your shaking hands and no shoes
I just thought that you might grow to understand
I tap twice on your doorframe and you let me in
I tap twice on your forehead and a heart appears
It seems like you're only high when you're holding your breath
Only bright when you're broken in half
When we met a few years back, you didn't warm to me
And I left oranges in your bedroom like an offering
And I see you in the future, you look just the same, but older
And I wave to you, but I don't slow my pace
I tap twice on your doorframe and you let me in
I tap twice on your forehead and a heart appears
It seems like you're only high when you're holding your breath
Only bright when you're broken in half
And I almost broke my wrists trying to bring you back
And you thrashed around like goldfish in a garbage bag
It seems like you're only high when you're holding your breath
Only bright when you're broken in half
