Barely there
Barely visible beside me on my bed
You have the softest hair
I've ever ran my fingers through
I swear, this ghost is the real you
Lifting me up from my burdens
You'd better let me down
I'm less of an honest man
I am deserving of the heaviest hands now
Once in a while I’ll see you here
Once in a while it feels like every day we spent
(Now you're barely there)
In a vivid dream again
I'll follow you as closely as I can
You are my oxygen
Once in a while I feel like we're running back home again
You never knew it for certain
Well, I think you know by now
I'm less of an honest man
I am deserving of the heaviest hands
So lay it on me now
Grant me another day
Waiting here with the window ajar
And I thought I could hear you say…
How is it you feel so near?
Pressed in the fold of my helplessness
And I'll make it another year
Maybe another day
