She is the sun
the warmth that brings life
the smile that comes to your face
when you think about summer

Everyone wants to be around her
to bathe in her radiant rays
they'll grunt and groan when she has to move
over to make room for the moon

I am the moon
The villain who steals the spotlight from the sun
whenever I come out people slam their doors in my face
and hide inside with their eyes closed all night

And just like we'll never share the same sky
I know we'll never see eye to eye
I'll always be in her shadow, the absence of all light
we've been in this battle since the beginning of time

The sun she can burn you
if you hang out with her for too long
if you admire her too much
her beauty will behold you blind

And I know I don't shine
as bright as the sun
And I know my glimmer is only mildly appreciated
when surrounded by a sea of shimmering stars

But the stars are just too out of reach
for me to hold in my hands
and whenever I look down at the ground
the people on the streets are spread too far and too few

I'll be waiting high in the sky for the few night owls
who need some fresh air and can't sleep
I'll be there for anyone who needs to give their burns a break
and stay out of the sun's harmful rays
