Ship in a Bottle |
| I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open |
| That fixes all of life’s mistakes |
| I wanna be the house that you were raised in |
| The only place that you feel safe |
| I wanna be a shower in the morning |
| That wakes you up and makes you clean |
| I know I’m just the weather against your window |
| As you sleep through a winter’s dream |
| Someone’s churning the earth; |
| someone’s stirring the sky |
| Every color at once in a column of lights |
| Bacteria breeds on a microscope slide |
| The worm in my heart’s the apple of your eye |
| Don’t adore what is impossible |
| We have built this ship in a wine bottle |
| But if you knew how it worked |
| We’d have to grow old |
| Someone’s eating at you, wakes you up in the night |
| If you’re digging the past, who knows what you’ll find |
| Read the newspaper print off the microfiche slide |
| And you’re holding your breath for the rest of your life |
| Don’t you love what is intangible |
| I have built this ship in a wine bottle |
| But if you knew who I was … |
| You would never grow old |
