Tap At My Window Lyrics

Cover art for Tap At My Window lyrics by Laura Marling

I think the song is about a woman falling for another man, she contradicts herself in thr first bit by saying 'i don't think i will though' and then 'my heart's taken, i won't tell him again' because she's thinking about letting him in and she seems to be reassuring herself that her heart's taken even though she's thinking about letting him in. I also think the imagery of letting him in the window is actually her letting him in to her heart, this would also make sense of 'my heart's taken' meaning maybe that there isn't room for 3 in her heart.. 'The emotion she cannot deny' is the love between she two of them and how she can't deny that she feels it.. i think perhaps the reference to the mother and father may mean that the mother had an affair and the woman knows this game.. she says though that her father pushed her away.. I believe it's not actually about Laura's parents. Saying she might wake up alone means that if she leaves her partner and goes to this bou that she could end up without either
