I don't know of a single thing with wings that doesn't fly away,
But put me in a cage keep me by your window,
Because you're my cerulean sky,
And the way I'm feeling I'd be overjoyed to stay right next to you

But I can't help asking, are we killing time or is it killing us

And I don't know of a single thing with fins that doesn't swim away,
But put me in a bowl keep me by your bedside,
Because you're my indigo sea,
And the way I'm feeling I'd be overjoyed to stay right next to you

But I can't help asking, are we killing time or is it killing us

And I just want to be the leaf that never falls,
And I just want to be the skin snakes never shed

But I know you're no evergreen,
And you can't ask me to stop growing for you.

And I think I finally understand, we are killing time and it's killing us
