sometimes at night
i watch the mice cross the kitchen floor
i used to think they came from the fireplace
but they come in under the pantry door
i get so close i can touch them all
on the nights i wait up for your call

my roommates say we should kill them all
but they’ll stay up with me
the nights you never call
on those nights you never call
