I've got a wish to be as lithe as a sapling Waist pulled back into spine (I've got a wish) Arms and legs wrung thin as reeds Skin sucked right to ribs until ivory cracked Gravity comes stamping down (I've got a wish) Flattened into paper Eyes gone dull, skin gone grey Breath gone rancid (I've got a wish) Write it down, fold it out Message hiding in the bathroom ([?]) Find me with the locks gnawed off I'm not asking if you're happy ([?]) You are right where you're supposed to be (Gone, gone, gone) You are right where you're supposed to be (Gone, gone, gone) You are right where you're supposed to be (Gone, gone, gone) You are right where you're supposed to be And will you get up the nerve to tell me that I look sick? And will you get up the nerve to tell me that you're afraid? (This is not a prayer) All this is just a dream (This is not a prayer) Please don't forget me (This is not a prayer) Please don't forget me (This is not a prayer) Please, don't, please And years from now I'll pretend (I've got a wish) That I don't remember (I've got a wish) And years from now I'll cry right into your fucking lap 'Cause years from now you'll still be here (Right where you're supposed to be) And will you get up the nerve to tell me that I look sick? And will you get up the nerve to tell me that you're afraid? (This is not a prayer) All this is just a dream (This is not a prayer) Please don't forget me (This is not a prayer) Please don't forget me (This is not a prayer) Please, don't, please (I've got a wish, I've got a wish) (I've got a wish, I've got a wish) This is not a prayer (I've got a wish) This is not a prayer (I've got a wish) This is not a prayer (I've got a wish) This is not a prayer (I've got a wish) This is not a prayer (I've got a wish) This is not a prayer (I've got a wish) This is not a prayer (I've got a wish) This is not a prayer (I've got a wish) This is not a prayer, this is not a prayer (This is not a prayer) And will you get up the nerve (This is not a prayer) To tell me that I look sick? (This is not a prayer) And will you get up the nerve (This is not a prayer) To tell me that you're afraid? (This is not a prayer) All this is just a dream (This is not a prayer) Please don't forget me (This is not a prayer) Please don't forget me (This is not a prayer) Please, don't, please
