(If… if… if… if…)
If you take off my clothes
And open my chest
If you get can through all the liquid
Pass by my lung ‘cause somewhere around my heart
Maybe you could see
A little boy
With big eyes and skinny arms
He’s there between my bones and
Muscles and all the blood
And I don’t know what to think
Don’t know what to say
He’s been sittin’ in there all day
So I say “You should really stop
‘Cause I can’t find a job
I can’t focus on anything
You make me lose my mind”
My friends say I’m crazy
Because I sing all the time
He says “You are no use
You watch TV all day
One day I’ll run away
I’ll run away
What will you do without me?
“‘Cause when you’re singing the song I’m there
When the song moves through you I’m there
When you’re writing the song I’m there
When you’re struggling with the song I’m still there”
And when you write to Santa
I write to Billy ‘cause
He’s my hero
So I say “Why don’t you please shut up for a moment?
I have to study ‘cause I have exams tomorrow”
And he’s like “La la la”
And I said “Don’t you have anything better to do?
Like take care of my stomach because it’s a real mess”
And he goes “I’m not listening”
And I don’t know what to do with you anymore
And I don’t know what to do
Don’t know what to say
He says “Don’t do anything
Don’t say anything
Just sing”
(I want to sing, I want to sing) [repeated]
I don’t write to Santa, I just write to Billy
I don’t write to Santa, I just write to Billy
La la la la la…
