Just Double Checking

When we're sleeping I get up to check the lock When we're leaving Back inside a dozen times You're trying to be patient But I see you roll your eyes Good can happen I can be there when it does Like when I'm singing to you I know what's in my hands I've got a cat in my lap The sun is streaming down Like when I'm singing to you And strum away intrusive thoughts We could all be dead in an earthquake But we could also not Interrupting The romance Could you repeat what you just said? Birds were chirping in my brain I'm trying to keep records of the time That we spend But my phone is out of space Momentary grace Like when I'm singing to you I know what's in my hands I've got a dog in my lap The sun is streaming down Like when I'm singing to you The center of gravity in my room I'm giving in like the tide to the moon Trying to be in control every moment Is not as effective as you would think I'm letting myself go Embracing what comes in the absence I'm gonna ride it like a wave So I can get back to you I know what's in my hands I've got a cat in my lap The sun is streaming down Like when I'm singing to you And strum away intrusive thoughts I wonder what will be left I think I'll like it a lot
