Lyrics
She's tapping at the window frame,
Silhouetted figurine.
Silently stares straight ahead,
She's desperate to be seen.
She pushes me an envelope,
And dares me to look inside,
And from the safety of a world away,
Tells me of hope and lies.
She's tapping on the window and it echoes through my room,
Why won't the sun hide?
It's breaking through my window and it's waking me too soon,
And the silhouette claims she's on my side.
She's threatening to jump again,
I better call the nurse.
The tragedy is she'll never jump,
Because her thoughts are mine not hers.
We dance a deadly step of death in turning, swirling skies,
And she pushes me hard as she can with deadly piercing eyes.
She's tapping on the window and it echoes through my room,
Why won't the sun hide?
It's breaking through my window and it's waking me too soon,
And the silhouette claims she's on my side.
It doesn't matter what you say.
A word has a thousand meanings if lit a thousand ways.
So come with me to my skylight ledge,
Take my hand and fall,
Until the meaning you're looking for frightens you no more.
Silent words sound silently.
Silent words sound silently.
To me.
To me.
