I drove up to the city at night
And found the place where you grew up
And then where you stayed
And then we walked around
And stayed up late
Under city lights
And I spent the night
Next to you in the house
Where you grew up
Next to you I miraculously woke up
In your parents' house
I lied in bed with you
I went back to feel alone there
I went back to wipe it clean
I took the lights and radio towers
Out of my dreams
We went all the way up to
The small town where I'm from
With foggy air
And the wind
And the mountain top
And we clung to rocks
And we looked off
You held my hand
You almost got to start feeling me
I finally felt like I was breathing free
And under swaying trees
We fell asleep and had the same dream
The stars were bright
We dream the same every night
On my island home
I spent some time with you
I went back to feel alone there
I went back there by myself
And gave up on everything that we'd felt
We found a precious place in the sand
Right out in the wind
And lied under a blanket
And heard the furious sound
The roar of waves
The pounding surf
Two bodies on the earth:
It was intense just getting
To be there next to you
And you were trying to get me then
And I was happy let you in
I went back and wished I hadn't
I went back and felt regret
I went to the beach and I stared west
Every night when the sun went down
In the town where we live
The empty streets were lit up
By reflected light
From a distant sun
Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock
We just lied on the roof and watched
The moon
The moon
The blue light of the moon
We didn't talk and silently
We both felt powerful
Like the moon my chest was full
Because we both knew
We're just floating
In the same space over molten rock
And we felt safe and discovered
That our skin is soft
There's nothing left except certain death
And that was comforting under the moon
I went out last night to forget that
I went out and stared it down
But the moon just stared back at me
And in it's light I saw
My two feet on the ground
I drove up to the city at night
And found the place where you grew up
And then where you stayed
And then we walked around
And stayed up late
Under city lights
And I spent the night
Next to you in the house
Where you grew up
Next to you I miraculously woke up
In your parents' house
I lied in bed with you
I went back to feel alone there
I went back to wipe it clean
I took the lights and radio towers
