How To Be Light letra

I want to live
In a pocket of time
Not more than ten days across
It sticks on my brain
Like a kiss or a rhyme
Or something I shouldn't have lost
I want to live
In the feeling I had
That went just as soon as it came
Oh, then I was light, made fun of the nights
Under an August rain

So teach me, teach me, teach me how to be light
Gravity cripples the spirit and heart
And makes all this living a fight
Teach me, teach me, teach me how to dissolve
Time is so sticky, a blur and a bind
I don't want you to see me get old

I want to live in a place where I was
But I want that place to be here
Strip out the trees, the glistening pools
We'll fill them back up with our tears
I want to be a permanent age
Without any number to pin
'Cause I'm sick and drained from what I am now
And need to feel light once again

I want to to sleep in a rose-coloured room
Wrapped up in courage and youth
Everyone visits grinning with praise
No bother if it's not the truth
I want a switch like a threat on the wall
I flip it and it wipes the tape
I never existed, to burden your heart
But listen now it's getting late
