how can music be so perfect?

[appiy]

ever since i was young, your word is the word that always won
hurry and wake the ones you love
a phone call i'd rather not receive
please use my body as i sleep
my lungs are fresh and yours to keep
kept clean and they will let you breathe

is this the way a toy feels, when its batteries run dry?
i am the watch you always wear but you forget to wind.

nobody plans on being half a world away at times like these
so i sat alone and waited out the night
the best part of what has happened was the part i must have missed
so i'm asking you to shine it on and stick it out i'm not writing my goodbyes

i settle at no excuse
if this is what i have to do
i owe you everyday i wake

if i could i would shrink myself
sink through your skin to your blood cells
remove whatever makes you hurt
but i am too weak to be your cure.

does anybody remember back when you were very young?
did you ever think that you would be this blessed?
