If I was very brave I'd climb that tree

Id howl at the fog being boundless and free.

Id scream and id shout until my lungs burnt like ash

Id dive through the water I wouldn't just trash.

The branch would hold me with thorns in my palms

The stars wouldn't tame me, I wouldn't beg to do harm.

I wouldn't need to destroy the ghosts in my ear

Time running out wouldn't be my greatest fear.

Id kiss his cheek or chase that dream

Running wild and free right down to the stream.

My legs should ache with hope preserved at all costs

The ticking clock shouldn't remind me what I've lost.

I don't have to feel tapped, I don't have to feel small

I don't have to panic about the climb or the fall.

The sun will shine as I emerge from the cave

Borrowed time as a reason to be strong and brave.
