"Spacetime Fairytale" lyrics - REGINA SPEKTOR

I woke up with you in my head
Like a melody to sing in bed
I should get up, but I, instead
Make a face you used to make

[Refrain:]
I know there's no such thing as time
I know there's no such thing as mine
I know there's no such thing as turning back

[Pre-Chorus:]
The fairy tale's begun, so listen up, my son
The pages may have burned, but words can just return

[Chorus:]
All of time spans, all of space spans
All of light spans, all our life spans

My mind is full of melodies
They search for homes inside of me
Like begging, pleading refugees
But I can't find the time

[Refrain:]
I know there's no such thing as time
I know there's no such thing as mine
I try to calm and still the rising tide

[Pre-Chorus:]
Keep listening, my son, 'cause the story just goes on
Each time a theory proves, the mystery just moves

[Chorus:]
Time moves slower round your feet
Find slow time, breathe and feel the beat of
Time moves slower, round your feet
Find slow time, breathe and feel the beat of time

This world began outside of time
Some days it's yours, some days it's mine
Some days it's cruel, some days it's kind
It just can't stay the same

[Refrain:]
I know there's no such thing as time
I know there's no such thing as mine
I try to sing a melody your way

[Pre-Chorus:]
The story must go on, so keep listening, my son
And if you get too tired, just build a little fire
The pages they may burn, but words can just return

[Chorus:]
Pages burn, but words return
Just watch the flames and you will learn
Pages burn, but words return
Just watch the flames and you will learn
You will learn, you will learn, you will learn

[Post-Chorus:]
You will learn
You will learn
You will learn
