You plopped a helicopter in my heart and left it there
like you'd invented the only machine on Earth
that will never run out of juice.
I almost lost a hand trying to see what it was made of,
but I couldn't stop the rotor without tearing myself apart.
Now I will have no more starting and stopping,
no more coming and going,
done with the beginning and the ending.
I have always been the one who stays
but you turned me into a searcher.
Soon I will bounce from forest floor to rooftops
in a matter of moments.
Rescues and getaways at your service.
There must be a walkie-talkie somewhere in this machine
I can call you on and say,
Okay, I was not surprised by how quickly I learned to fly.
I have always been the one who stays
but now that you are coming
I am going, going, going.
