If I set fire to the city
The flames would illuminate the sky, imagine how pretty
Everything would be
But still, would you look at me
Amid the smoke and ashes and debris?
If I travelled the world for a hundred years
Hoping to rid the Earth of your deepest fears
Would you even care
If I returned and stood there
And told you all about the lions and tigers and bears?
Would you even care
If I returned and stood there?
If you asked for a memory from your childhood
I’d go back in time to your suburban neighborhood
Taking snapshots with my mind
Of the things you’ve left behind
To ensure you don’t lose any more time
I’d take snapshots with my mind
All the things you left behind
If I could go back to the day we met
I hope I would remember to forget
All the things you said to me
And save myself the agony
Of loving you to spare my dignity
