And on my fourth birthday, looking like a photograph
We would all forget about, and only discover later on
With all the newspapers, piled up like epitaphs
For the man you never knew, but hold on to like a silver swan
And in the forest that I created in my head
I was a warrior at home in the wild
My bones were big and strong
They’d never get me like they did in real life
If I could just get bigger and better
Could you stay a little longer, please?
Could you stay a little longer, please?
And in the lamp light, swaddled like a baby tight
I read a hundred page to get lost each night
I made a skin out of the brother’s grim
Made a magic box to hide the shouting in
‘Cause you were busy biting at each other’s heels
In an angry fog that never seemed to clear
But it’s okay, ’cause I did pretty well anyway
And you’re proud
But could you stay a little longer, please?
Could you stay a little longer, please?
