Ship in a Bottle (Companion Version)

[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
