When i am king you're gonna build me a time machine
Because at night i can't let go of those dreams.
The what-ifs are still strangling me.
And with this ring i married the city
On islands with white tiled floors
And this is where we only went exploring
And this is where we never got lost.
If i was still a girl i'd make you get on your knees and work.
If i was still a bird i'd make you shoot me down from the sky,
Haven't you heard? i'm almost gone.
And i'm blinded by our stories like i'm blinded by daylight.
And i number the pages. i make up words where our languages fail me.
I let in the water when the rivers come to visit.
I let in the storm if the fire's strong enough, listen,
I let in the past we painted in a vivid truth.
I want us to become legends among fishes and wolves.
If i was still a girl i'd make you get on your knees and work.
If i was still a bird i'd make you shoot me down from the sky,
Haven't you heard? i'm almost gone.
