Origami

I make paper folds
To have the grace of a swan
What would I have to look like
To be worthy of you?
 
Adult loves, I'm sure of it
Like in angling
The mermaid will wear me down
She's smart like you
 
My most precious company
I look for other stars in the night
Without your precious company
I am searching
 
I want to enjoy my twenties
Until I'm at least a hundred and twenty
Brown hair
Gray hair
White hair
To love till my heart's done in
Until I love my body
And then fall asleep at dawn
 
I want to enjoy my twenties
Until I'm at least a hundred and twenty
Brown hair
Gray hair
White hair
Once the pain is wiped away
What color will my heart be
What color will my heart be
 
And seconds are counted in hours
I know we're running out of time
At what age are we less afraid
Tell me, Mom
 
Do I have to laugh till I file my teeth ?
Scream till I bend over backwards ?
I see a thousand friends, I see a thousand lovers ?
My heart broken, I make myself sick ?
 
My most precious company
I look for other stars in the night
Without your precious company
I am searching
 
I want to enjoy my twenties
Until I'm at least a hundred and twenty
Brown hair
Gray hair
White hair
To love till my heart's done in
Until I love my body
And then fall asleep at dawn
 
I want to enjoy my twenties
Until I'm at least a hundred and twenty
Brown hair
Gray hair
White hair
Once the pain is wiped away
What color will my heart be
What color will my heart be
 
I make paper folds
I fold myself in a thousand, origami
Except the sheet is steel
And you, you want us to stay friends
 
I want to enjoy my twenties
Until I'm at least a hundred and twenty
Brown hair
Gray hair
White hair
To love till my heart's done in
Until I love my body
And then fall asleep at dawn
 
I want to enjoy my twenties
Until I'm at least a hundred and twenty
Brown hair
Gray hair
White hair
Once the pain is wiped away
What color will my heart be
What color will my heart be
