"Separate Rooms"

You feel penned in, uncomfortable,
You yearn for escape
Do you ever feel safe in my room?
My dear I do love you
But I don't feel too close sometimes
Is this because you stay locked
in your room?

It's been quite a time now I've
been inside your life;
And to me, mine seems outside;
No one really to talk to
If you ask me a question
Do you expect me to answer?
And do you really want me
Or is it all just too familiar?

You've "got to get out of here"
Never relax much
Please relax with me
Let me be with you

And move back with me
Someday....
Because I never felt
Comfortable in
Separate rooms
