lyrics

I am told that if I wait the world will roll at my feet,
if I wait right here and sit still.
I've been told that my heart is made of ice.

So I drank my fill until my sides began to burst
and my skin was crackling in the sun.
But I came down hard when you took away my fun.

I was told that if I sit quite still until my dreams are fulfilled.
I was told that the world would come to me.
I guess we'll see.

Borne aloft a ship without a sail,
dreaming on the words I couldn't say,
I am rising with the waves. I'm going slow.

I'm the one I love.

Show me how strange you are, funny toes all elbows.
I know you pretty well, and yet, it's you I can't forget.
If I stay still I can put a stop to time, and the world will be mine.

Today I found the peace that wouldn't come.
Tired body sleeping in the sun,
borne aloft a ship without a sail I'm going slow.

I'm the one I love.
