Dance on the Windows (Dargan)

High above in my bed on wheels
So close behind you could never feel
In perfect view, you look right through
and freeze me at your will

Words grow stale as they pass my teeth
No taste remains but the air beneath
My faintest hope with a word you choke
and effortlessly kill

The difference that one inch can make
Is sometimes life or death
Like a passing glance on a rainy day
or the space that's closing fast between our breath

See me now and know full well
A weekly scene in my living hell
Did you stop to think when I spill my drink
with no place left to hide

Hear me talk and you know it's true
that it's been two years and it's all but you
Some Thursday night, with a chance I might
not just pass you outside...

The difference that one inch can make
Is sometimes life or death
Like a swaying kilt on a windy day
or the space that's closing fast between our breath

High above in my bed on wheels
So close behind you could never feel
In perfect view, you look right through
and freeze me at your will

The difference that one inch can make
Is sometimes life or death
Like a passing glance on a rainy day
or the space that's closing fast between our breath
