i am the moon's soft daughter
and she can't tell me lies
although she is everchanging
all the time, in the skies

i'll follow her 'til forever
until my heart explodes
but they tell me she is leaving
mother, please don't go

but she who cools off so quickly
can never see the light
of you, my ever-burning desire,
god, you shine so bright

i tell you by the morning light
it'll all be alright
you'll be just fine, my starlight
but perhaps not tonight

i've got a lust for the stars
and the people who've found me
together, they're always there
and they never look down on me

it hits me like a train, the realization
that you're my hazy summer, but this is a flirtation

and i'd light myself on fire
just to see your face aglow
i'd climb up every mountain
just to kiss you in the snow

an unrelenting joy that rushes through my veins
when you're beside me, things hardly stay the same

i've been told that this cannot be healthy
this cannot be true love
but 'i don't care,' i say
what else could i make broken hearts out of?

i would give you a million chances
only to break my heart
thinking i could change the end
if i only changed the start

my feelings aren't a mirror
not of you, at least.
you're always so happy sunshine
while i'm a jagged beast.

you will forget me someday
and it will be just fine.
the world will still turn
the sun will always shine.

you're with you forever,
i was just a flash.
my disconnected lifestyle
doesn't allow things just to last.

i can say i am afraid,
(and this would be the truth)
there's more to it, however --
i've gone too late, not too soon.

you're a galaxy personified
i know what i mean.
you're trying to make it all work
your mind is like a dream.

one of the dreams that turns
to nightmares,
because it makes you want to ignore
the fact that i can be here and there.

(i swear. i'll be good.
i say it a million times,
but i mean it --
it just gets lost in the rhymes).

i'll be standing on the sidelines,
pom poms in my hand
you're making me so proud
i could maybe do a handstand.

a window and door will open
and you'll walk inside,
just like your light, my love,
you'll be enveloped by the sunshine.
