When I was a small child
Obsessed with the future
I didn't believe in fate
I didn't believe in much of anything
Now that I'm a weathered machine
I'd give it all, I'd give everything
To have you here to believe
To believe in me
Who could ever hold
Skin so cold?
Hiding flesh and wire
Only half awake
Doubting all the choices I make
Feeling the heat, but never the fire
I know it's too hot outside to run
I'll wait until the midnight hour
When the buildings block the sun
I can't hide from fate
But I know I don't have time to wait
When the shadows cross my eyes
I feel closer to my demise
When I was a small child
Obsessed with the future
I didn't believe in fate
I didn't believe in much of anything
Now that I'm a weathered machine
I'd give it all, I'd give everything
To have you here to believe
To believe in me
