Staples of my papers
My birth in black and white
And I just keep on learning
Just how vast the time
When I was just a young kid
I lay my ears down on the ground
But I never heard the horses
Till they already trod me down
So I write it in a letter
Wishing well forevermore
And I send it with the paper to my childhood home
The feeling the same fears we've felt a hundred times before
But I am just delighted
It's the only thing I know
And somebody has asked me
In a strangely soothing voice
"what age would you grow up to
If you had to make a choice?"
So I collect my thoughts, gather
The words I wish to say
And I scream into the void
"no minute older than today"
ย
Were the clouds here long before me
Or did I carry them along?
How many words long is the ocean
If you fit it in a song?
I don't wanna taste your poison
I don't wanna feel your pain
I just want to find the secret
Of how not to die in vain
ย
When I was just a young kid
And my head down on the ground
But I never heard the horses
Till they already trod me down
Yeah I didn't know any better
Had my heart up on my sleeve
And if somebody would ask
It was a world I couldn't see
And I wanna leave the water
I wanna breathe the air
But I wanna keep my safety
So I shrink into myself
And I collect my thoughts, pick up
The ever-ringing phone
And I scream into the horn
"is this the world I want to know?"
ย
Were the clouds here long before me
Or did I carry them along?
How many words wide is the ocean
If you fit it in a song?
I don't wanna taste your poison
I don't wanna feel your pain
I just want to find the secret
Of how not to die in vain
And I wanna leave the water
I wanna breathe the air
But I wanna keep my safety
So I shrink into myself
And I collect my thoughts, pick up
The ever-ringing phone
And I scream into the horn
"is this the world I want to know?"
