Netsuke - Field Mouse

See now, that wasn’t so bad

It’s always worse when you think about it

Hold it in on the ride home

Set your watch, eyes on the moon

Someday when all the things you used to dream

Are lived out or buried underground

You won’t remember how the fear felt

Only what you didn’t do

Tell them what you need

You can’t please everybody all the time

Hold still for the day

Go to school and watch the hours tick away

Someday when all the things you used to dream

Are lived out or buried underground

And you remember the weight of the imaginary ties

I guess they were right

Dreaming in the bathtub of what came before

There is always something, something more

Dreaming in the bathtub of what things are in store

One step to close the window

And two steps out the door
