A Time To Be So Small Lyrics - Antics - Interpol

We saw you from the ocean's side, from under the boat 

We saw you making knots, we saw you get the rope 

The boy's appearing on the deck and making it lurch 

And the bubble of your interests ready to burst 

He whistles and he runs 

We saw you in distraction: a sleeping, slow despair 

Rehearsing interaction, he wasn't even there 

A creature is a creature though you wish you were the wind 

A boat will not stop moving if you tie him up until the end 

He whistles and he runs so hold him fast 

Breathe the burn, you want to let it last 

He might succumb to what you haven't seen 

He has a keen eye for what you used to be
