build me a room of pageant flowers
dizzy with the bees and the visions
make me a heart in miniature
to keep like a secret decision
little airplane gets littler still
every heart on board shrinks as well
now i’m ready to be as i am now
i’m learning to be so small
and so what if i’m not talking
i get by with just a little
your hands freezing in my pockets
i’m so sorry they’re not bigger
tell me to leave the way i came
out of breath and badly dressed
wake me up when the houses grow
they’re having a growing contest
the sun is shining all the time
but the houses are hiding from the light
so there is so much that you don’t know
but don’t let it stop you
and so what if i’m not talking
i get by with just a little
your hands freezing in my pocket
i’m so sorry they’re not bigger
