Forever ... (is a long time)

[00:00.12] I spent a long time watering a plant made out of plastic

[00:07.88] And I cursed the ground for growing green

[00:13.87] I spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic

[00:21.38] And I cursed my tongue for being mean

[00:27.37] And weightless, breathless restitute

[00:30.38] Motionless and absolute

[00:34.13] You cut me open, sucked the poison from an aging wound

[00:40.63] Now fifty thousand war cadets

[00:44.12] Would cower at this small brunette

[00:47.62] To my surprise, not six feet high

[00:51.13] Who'd reach and grab the moon if I

[00:54.62] Should ask or just imply

[00:57.63] That I wanted a bit more light

[01:00.62] So I could look inside his eyes

[01:03.87] And get the colors just right

[01:08.12] Just right, just right, just

[02:20.37] Build love, build God, build provinces

[02:23.62] Build calluses, break promises

[02:27.13] 'Cause I could never hold a perfect thing and not demolish it

[02:32.88] What am I thinking? What does this mean?

[02:36.62] How could somebody ever love me?

[02:41.38] Talk to your man, tell him he's got bad news comin'
