If I could take the stars from the sky and give them to you,
I wouldn't
We love them in the sky for the mystery they create far above
Where we can't dampen or destroy what we love
I wouldn't dare take that mystery away from you
Perhaps that's why we hold each other like the stars,
At a distance
Perhaps we love the mystery and wonder of not quite knowing each other
Perhaps that's why I let you stay so far away
Perhaps it will change and the novelty will wear off
And soon, like if we brought the stars down,
Our love for it would leave
Wear off in the light of day
Like our sun the, stars are just bright
Nothing left to wonder
I don't want us to have that realization of each other
I hope I'm wrong
But if I could take the stars from the sky and give them to you,
I wouldn't
