[singer A] Puffy cheeks first thing in the morn An itch on my back I just can't reach Even the name I almost knew Slips right through my fingertips Underneath a lilac sky A flower sleeps, half open Every wish comes true before it's born Water waits before I thirst I'm filled before I want a thing In a still white land where nothing stirs [singer B] There's a little draft inside my chest What was it I wanted then? I laugh and say I'm happy here But I miss the time I spent looking My fingers flutter, grasping air I love that little space between Every wish comes true before it's born Water waits before I thirst I'm filled before I want a thing In a still white land where nothing stirs [melodic transition] [singer A] I made a wish to go back home That restless feeling took my hand A treasure no one ever wants I picked it up and held it close The night wind brushes down my back So close, and still I cannot reach Just past the tips of my fingers The ache is like a tiny star What's missing gives a little glow I keep on smiling in the night breeze A wish is born and starts to sway Thirst makes the water taste so sweet A little want peeks out at last On this restless night, a flower blooms
