When I'm young
_____
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
_____
The end of the beginning
_____
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
_____
The end of the beginning
_____
The end of the beginning
_____
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
_____
The end of the beginning
