Ship In A Bottle

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 against 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
