lyrics

If I got to choose my form in the next life
I'd be a dancer all fluid and made out of fire
I'd move like a tiger in a hadron collider
Kaleidoscope spider I'd fly without leaving the ground

And if you watched me dance you'd love me
Telling stories words can't say
You'd be overcome with feelings
They'd confuse you into rage

If you got to be the person you wanted
Unburdened, unhaunted, you'd cut through the air like a song
Does anyone choose, or are our ends fated?
Our sweetest verse jaded
Our moment of truth lost to time

And if you watched me live you'd envy
Each true smile that crossed my face
You'd reflect on all your failings
And wish that you could live this way
You'd convince yourself I'm faking
But I promise you it's twice as good as it seems

If you get to see your heart's true wish granted
There's no second chances
Swing wild
Strike true
Believe

Swing wild

Strike true

Believe
