I’m sitting here wondering, pacing
Is all of this just about chasing
Standing there over the water
You kissed me and I felt
But touch never lasts
Sensations they wane
So I go out looking for fingers like yours
They’re warm and inviting
But warmth never lasts
And winter will come, summers they pass
Hands they will wrinkle, faces they fade
Chasing a dream of my endless sun
Winter won’t come and warmth lasts forever
I left you there, not over the water
Landlocked and choked on air that’s too warm
Love gives way, but apathy lasts
Maybe you’ll be happier
Maybe you weren’t
And if you go out chasing for something you need
I hope that you find it
I hope that it’s warm, I hope that she loves you
I hope she’s your sun and you chase her around
Maybe I’ll find mine too
Maybe he’ll be warm, but I don’t want the sun
I see now I should stick with the moon
That was our problem
You lived in the light, never the dark
I longed for the moon after your sun
