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 againt your window 

As you sleep through a winter's dream



Someones 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
