But I hear no tapping
No sound of crying or trying to be silent
No knock to tell me
I should give in
Come to talk or lose or mate
And cooperate
Sorry, yes I am
I'd apologize but I can't
Got to first hear the sound
That shocks me so loud
I know we've got something
That's difficult discussing
And hard to hear two rooms away
Nearer to moving but it's hard
Wish the door would open
And you'd peek in, step in
Fog up my glass with hot tears
We need to kiss away
I should give in
Or should I just wait?
Sorry, truly said
I'd apologize but I need to be fed
Got to eat the words
That I spit out and slurred
I can't hear you from two rooms away
One of us should not be afraid
I hear different from two rooms away
The calm words you say turn to bait
And I keep it coming
Further to nothing
Crying and hugging
Later the evening
Sorry, yes I am
I'm coming cause I can't
Sorry, I'll get it out
Even if I have to shout
Sorry, but I can't hear what
You say from two rooms away
