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 your 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 Something´s churning the earth, something´s stirring the sky Every color at once in a column of light 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 would have to grow old Something´s eating at you, wakes you up in the night If you dig in past, who knows what you´ll find Read the newspaper, print off the microfiche slide And your 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
