Stars

Here it is, the roof I fell from, straight to hell, half in love with you.
You grabbed my hand and hauled me back, hurtling to the stars and said, Scorched and tired lands are not enough for you, we laughed. There you go, hit high on endless skies, lost in eternity.

How can you know me so well, when I said I'd never let anyone in. Just shows how big a fool I've been, to keep the world out while you danced, smiling and lonely, so beautiful a boy to distract me.

Before I knew it, the waves were gone and it's low tide tonight
Back in the shore you stand and wave, half love and spark on your lips, I'm grinning madly with disbelief, you got through to me. Here it is, the glow of light, beating steadily against my heart

Your hands are warm against me, a slight tremble, and there it is again, that gentle laugh as we lie on the grass and wrestle, brilliant fire explodes in the sky. You'd never let me fly away from you because I'd fall, too blind to see. Strange, I'd fall like a lightning ball, straight and through, diving to the sea.

How can you know me so well, when I said I'd never let anyone in. Just shows how big a fool I've been, to keep the world out while you danced, smiling and lonely, so beautiful a boy to distract me.

Get used to my arms around you, I can't escape.
Don't ever want to, I see myself lost in grace,
You see me as I never dared to dream
That I'd be immortal and beloved,
Like stars.
