I'll take the lions' share but
I won't mistake yeses for nos anymore and
Clinging to the hands of the clocks
I'll do everything to pull time back
I'll leave the subs' benches
I'll be captain of the soccer team and
I'll teach the big ones that you don't grow up
By stepping on someone smaller than you and
When I'm young I'll hold you in my arms
I'll try to laugh instead of laughing at you and
I'll train for hours in the cage
To smash hazing's face in
When I'm young I won't play for time
I'll be less scared to meet people
I'll quit reading the last pages
To spare myself the end of trips
When I'm young I'll take your share of shadow
To turn it into world music and
I'll slice up pieces of night
To make you origami dresses and
When I'm young I'll redo plenty of mistakes to
Blacken pages and toughen my heart and
I'll tell you to keep our baby
So I can keep you with me longer
When I'm young I'll take the tangent
Forever perpendicular to the slope
I'll drop the fights lost in advance
I'll give luck less room and
When I'm young I'll ruffle some feathers
I'll grab my star and my patch of asphalt
I'll stop you from taking the wheel
On a third of December with three grams in your blood
