Do you ever reach out in the stillness of a Southern California night?
As the tide pulls away from the shore, do you ever wonder if this all turned out right?
Hidden behind steel doors and paper, you once told me that you don't believe in regrets
Perhaps it's just easy for you to forget
I can see the glow of Mother Moon on the waves in your eyes
The parts of you that could never lie
Even in the moment when you made promises with unspoken exceptions
Glass between us, not able to look you in the eye when I realized that we were each other's reflection

In the air that rushes against your face
Amongst the earth beneath your feet
Immersed in the water that you become weightless in,
Hidden in the fire that you find within
Is where I will be found
There is no end for us in sight
This much is clear
It's elemental, my dear

The only secret from you that I ever kept
You are the colors of the galaxy on the back of my neck
Forever asking if you can hear the story of us again and again
Never having to fearfully wait for this all to end
For the bright fiery masses to fall from the sky
As they are enclosed safely behind our eyes
Most people are afraid to let go
But there is a secret that they don't know
Love is infinite, forever on-going
This is why I let you fly
Because I know that when it comes to you there is no such thing as good-bye
