Not more than ten days across
Or something I shouldn't have lost
That went just as soon as it came
Oh, then I was light, made fun of the nights
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
