Ship in a Bottle

And your holding your breath for the rest of your life
Read the newspaper, print off the microfiche slide
We have built this ship in a wine bottle
Bacteria breeds on a microscope slide
But if you knew how it worked
I know I'm just the weather against your window

Every color at once in a column of light
I wanna be your shower in the morning
As you sleep through a winter's dream
I have built this ship in a wine bottle
I wanna be the house that you were raised in
We would have to grow old

The worm in my heart's the apple of your eye
That wakes you up and makes you clean
Something's eating at you, wakes you up in the night
Don't adore what is impossible
Don't you love what is intangible

If you dig in past, who knows what you'll find
The only place that you feel safe

But if you knew who I was
Something's churning the earth, something's stirring the sky
