Tapping on a Secret

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
