lirik lagu i want you – paper bird (at)

[intro]
i need to live by the water
i need my head to be an empty room
i need a creek without a bottom
to throw my stones into
a silent machine
to produce a silver*sounding tune
that fills the veins of bodies
makes them float like weather balloons
i watch them with pieces of string tied to their toes
with tags attached, that carry their wishes to the moon

[verse 1]
building a sp*ceship that runs on all the little bits of memory
stuffed in trunks of poplar trees in ’93
this phone call couldn’t be further away
the line is broken, therе’s nothing to say
behind the c*n*l, the housеs are blocking the bay
take your bones that have grown out of every home
show me how slow i could live
if i choose to destroy the ship, rebuild it
use clay and stone, make a house to withstand the storm
i mean our own, the one that breaks far more than our bones

[chorus]
and i want
i want
[verse 2]
winston’s wearing his ancient feathers
as long as i can remember
at least since i rode the little red bike
in endless eights through summer nights
and sung the music from the tape
oh, you’ll grow up to be a warrior, it’s never too late
especially if you’re a boy, you’re instantly employed
i was afraid and i still am
of the big escape, the dissonance
the missing breaks, the broken hands
the loss of you in black quicksand
the choir sung a soft, soft song:
“wa*hi*ah hi*ah hi*ah ho,”
“wa*hi*ah hi*ah hi*ah ho,”
“wa*hi*ah hi*ah hi*ah hi*ah ho”

[chorus]
i want you
i want you
and i want you
and i want you
i want you
and i want you
and i want
