Some people like summertime.
They like loud parties with loud people
They love and live for the sun
For golden-brown tans and expensive sunglasses
They like the feel of the daytime,
of being alive and happy
They live every moment like it's their last
Never staying in one place too long
After all...
Why stand still when there is a whole world to explore?

So
In other words
Those people are just like
you.

You crave adventure
And the fast-paced world
And Chasing is your profession

The first thing you did
When you came into town
Was chase
Me

And I lead you to something I thought you'd like to see
So that night
As we stood under the stars
You laughed

"It's so quiet."

Had you ever stood so still? Just watched in awe? Not caring about where you'd been or where you were going?

I told you about the perpetual sky
How their light shines for those who look for light in the dark
And your eyes twinkled
To form two new stars themselves

And I smiled

You see
Some people like structure
The like to stay and explore the details
After all...
There would be no world without the little things, now would there?

As I stood there
With you
I asked if you wanted to stay
Even if the chase was over
And your fingers grasped my hand

Your eyes answered for you
