Like a Child

Oh, so easy, like a child, like a child
Reading me is easy like a child, like a child
Marry me and maybe we could make it for a while
Oh, so easy, like a child, like a child
It could be so easy, like a child
Keep writing verses on my skin ‘til it’s right
Leave all your burning black lines on my white
Make it about how I’ll feel
Every drop of ink that’s real
‘Cause I’m not in control
And you’re not in control
And all our armies drowned an hour ago
Show every letter to me when you’re done
Don’t close the cover if you’re still having fun
But I don’t want to make a plan
And I don’t even think we can
If I’m not in control
And you’re not in control
And all our armies drowned
Oh, so easy, like a child, like a child...
Surrender your last character and let her [ ' letter ' :'ק ] fall on me
Soldier, stop your civilizing; let it all come easy
Soldier, spin around with me and let yourself go wild
Dive into me dizzy like a child
Dive into me dizzy like a child
Every mistake that you erase
Takes a layer off in place
Oh, I’m not in control
And you’re not in control
But all our armies stood their ground
And fought those words the whole way down
‘Til every flaw was found
An hour ago
Oh, so easy, like a child, like a child...
