Know Enough

What I’m trying to say is
when I pick up the phone
I know you don’t know my
name enough to pick up

When you say no no no
that I am wrong
I know you don’t know
enough to know

Even now even now
when you say I am an island
how do you know?
you don’t know my name

When you say you understand
you’re the keeper of me
how do you know?
you do know I love you

But that I’m afraid
is that what you know?
I should prove it
do I prove I’m scared?

I know you’re waiting
don’t I know it
but you wouldn’t know enough
to answer the phone
