You said a little thing
I read the whole room
One tiny dot
And I was gone too soon
Maybe I leaned in hard
Maybe I wanted signs
You left me one small mark
I made it into light
Dot, dot, dot
I keep coming back
Dot, dot, dot
On the paper black
One small point
But it hit me like that
Dot, dot, dot
I keep coming back
There on the screen
Just a lonely speck
But I felt your hand
At the back of my neck
Maybe I leaned in hard
Maybe I wanted signs
You left me one small mark
I made it into light
Dot, dot, dot
I keep coming back
Dot, dot, dot
On the paper black
One small point
But it hit me like that
Dot, dot, dot
I keep coming back
One tiny pinprick
One clean little end
Still I stare at it
And start again
Dot, dot, dot
I keep coming back
Dot, dot, dot
On the paper black
One small point
But it hit me like that
Dot, dot, dot
I keep coming back
