Philosopher

When I grow up I think that I can be an actress

I'll let the camera find the truth

In these little eyes

And I could feel what it was like to be electric

And let the people hear me scream and shout

With this little mouth

And if I let all my demons out

Oh you would love it

And I would let the makeup run onto my face

I'm a philosopher

I try to put it all behind me

I'm a philosopher

I gotta try to keep it down

I'm a philosopher

No I'll never let it find me

I'm a philosopher

Gotta control it somehow

And when they're finished with me I could be your lover

And you could try to find the blush of youth

In these cheeks

Try to forget what it was like to be electric

And to win all the boys at home

With these hands

I'm a philosopher

With these hands

I'm a philosopher

With this heart

I'm a philosopher

I'm wise

I'm a philosopher

Let me out

Get all excited now

But you know when this is over

I'll be looking for a way to let it go

Yeah get all excited now

But it's only for a moment

And you can't have what you can't hold

I'm a philosopher

I'm a philosopher
