lyrics

Of all of the things that I started too late
Like cutting my hair, and brushing my teeth, and watching my weight
And arriving on time
If only I was any older then I would be the same
And you’d be my controller

And of all of the places that I’d like to go
Like into your arms and back to my house and out of the snow
And away from myself
I should have stayed a little longer
If only I could breathe better underwater

Presumably no one’s invited you in
To show you around, untangle your clothes and unravel your skin
But forget about that
And all of the other things I’ve imagined
While plotting out the ways that I will make my fortune

But lately I can’t seem to open you up
Though I’ve held you under hot water
And cut all the ribbons and straightened the plugs
And killed the alarm as far as anyone has noticed
I’m pulling you apart a little at a time

And I would hide for hours and hours
Just to fool you

Of all of the things that I started too soon
Like wanting you back and spending my cash on things I don’t use
At a tiresome rate and listening late and watching early
The day that I awake is the day that you’ll have heard me
