Tapping On A Secret

(albüm: Only Sparrows - 2011)

If you keep me on a short line
If you keep me on a short line every time
You're tapping on a secret, I'm never gonna let you in

I live in the future
I live in the shadow of a description
Tapping on a secret I'm never gonna let you in

Oh and I
I'm a bird in a cage who's pecking on the mirror
When I see my own reflection
I start counting down the days like I count down change in my pocket
Now the pocket's dry
And it can break you down easy or it can break you down slow
When someone else ends up at the start of the show

I make a little gesture
I make a little gesture
Hands in the air
Calling for surrender
I'm never gonna let you in

I live in the future
Always in the shadow of a description
Been tapping on a secret
I've been toppled like a fallen pin

Nothing's keeping out the cold tonight
I never thought I'd be the one to leave myself untied
