There's a Door

My body hides the signs of you
The way it ducks a wave entirely and slides right through
Tired fists and open palms, smoke to mend the songs
And I don't know where this all belongs

In the water there is truth
From it everybody came, and that's where we all end up too
So every dawn of every year you swim out past the pier
Until you can just barely hear

Turn the blinds up and tell myself that I can see you too
But our minds won't tell us what we really need to do
So I'm writing down the words that I can’t say
That I'm stronger but farther from you each and every day

The broken circles in your heart
Linking together as you sit there writing in the dark
Pictures from the bedside drawer thrown across the floor
But in the darkness there's a door
