Ship in a Bottle (Companion Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open And fixes all of life's mistakes I wanna be the house that you were raised in The only place that you feel safe [Verse 2] I wanna be a 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 [Chorus] Someone's 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 applе of your eye [Bridge] Don't adore what is impossiblе We have built this ship in a wine bottle But if you knew how it worked We'd have to grow old [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Someone's eating at you, wakes you up in the night When you dig through 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 [Outro] 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
