Call You All the Time

something I couldn’t put my finger on
but it was there all the same
just because I couldn’t touch it
doesn’t mean I couldn’t love it
you were different in a sort of way
that made me feel sane
but you knew it first
you knew before I did
you knew it first
you’d never let me in
and you were lying just outside of my reach
and you were lying and I was far too weak
to call your bluff
to do anything but call you all the time
a binary code of dots and dashes
and ones and twos where your point
fell just outside the graph
where I was charting off a course for us
without stopping to ask if
you wanted to come along
