I want to live In a pocket of time Not more than ten days across It sticks on my brain Like a kiss or a rhyme Or something I shouldn't have lost I want to live In the feeling I had That went just as soon as it came Oh, then I was light, made fun of the nights Under an August rain So teach me, teach me, teach me how to be light Gravity cripples the spirit and heart And makes all this living a fight Teach me, teach me, teach me how to dissolve Time is so sticky, a blur and a bind I don't want you to see me get old I want to live in a place where I was But I want that place to be here Strip out the trees, the glistening pools We'll fill them back up with our tears I want to be a permanent age Without any number to pin 'Cause I'm sick and drained from what I am now And need to feel light once again I want to to sleep in a rose-coloured room Wrapped up in courage and youth Everyone visits grinning with praise No bother if it's not the truth I want a switch like a threat on the wall I flip it and it wipes the tape I never existed, to burden your heart But listen now it's getting late
