Can I be your puppet on a string?
Can I hang suspended wondering what stings?
When I find out I will fight and I
Will climb until I swing from the vines
Your puppet on a string
And can I be your candle out at night?
Can I throw away the shadows with my might?
When you have to blow me out remain an imprint on your eyes
Your candle out at night
Oh, could I love you like
Love you like
Love you like that?
Could you be my puppet on a string?
Could you teach me how to dance and how to spin?
And show me how to lead you when I don't know how to lead you
My puppet on a string
And could you be my candle out at night?
Can I watch you burning close and burning bright?
To remind me that touching can still be done at a distance
Like your finger tied to a string tied to me
And when a wall it comes a-falling down
Or when a door unlocks to let you out
Can I be the strange unknown, the calmness that it sows
You feel in the very cool up through the ground
And when all, when all the lights go out
Could you be my summer blown in storm?
At once far away and close and standing follicles on end
Tender and adrenaline and warm
Tender and adrenaline and warm
Oh could you love me like
Love me like
Love me like that?
Oh could you love you like
Love me like
Love you like
Love me like
Love you like
Love me like
Love you like that?
Oh, love you like
Love me like
Love you like
Love me like
Love you like
Love me like
Love you like that?
And can I be your puppet on a string?
