Time Inside Out

She makes a masterpiece, shoestring and paper
She tucks it safe in my bag as I go
It’s like a piece of her, I take it with me
She opens my heart to see beauty she makes with her hands
Down by the water, her mind full of wonder
Creatures in our hearts are so full of life
Blurring the lines between student and teacher
She captures my heart like she captures the bird in her hands
Turning time inside out
Ever after, ticking like a watch on my wrist
Flashbulbs forgetting while eternity breaks in
Turning time inside out
Turning time inside out
Little boy prince with his crown and his castle
His coy invitation, his eyes like my own
Imagination untamed and unfettered
He wins my heart with a sword and a kiss to my hand
Turning time inside out
Ever after, ticking like a watch on my wrist
Flashbulbs forgetting while eternity breaks in
Turning time inside out
Turning time inside out
And the youngest with her fire
Dimple and blues
Sings her own tune
Little souls are
Turning time inside out
Ever after, ticking like a watch on my wrist
Flashbulbs forgetting while eternity breaks in
Turning time inside out
Turning time inside out
