Forever is a long time

[00:01.56] I spent a long time watering a plant made out of plastic

[00:09.05] And I cursed the ground for growing green

[00:15.29] I spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic

[00:22.79] And I cursed my tongue for being mean

[00:28.55] And weightless, breathless restitute

[00:32.03] Motionless and absolute

[00:35.05] You cut me open, sucked the poison from an aging wound

[00:41.79] Now fifty thousand war cadets

[00:45.54] Would cower at this small brunette

[00:49.06] To my surprise, not six feet high

[00:52.04] Who'd reach and grab the moon if I

[00:55.30] Should ask or just imply

[00:58.78] That I wanted a bit more light

[01:01.56] So I could look inside his eyes

[01:04.78] And get the colors just right

[01:09.31] Just right, just right, just

[02:21.53] Build love, build God, build provinces

[02:24.77] Build calluses, break promises

[02:28.51] 'Cause I could never hold a perfect thing and not demolish it

[02:34.56] What am I thinking? What does this mean?

[02:38.03] How could somebody ever love me?

[02:42.27] Talk to your man, tell him he's got bad news comin'
