Lunar

I want you to see me the same way I see you
But you can't seem to see through the lunar eclipses
If you're the sun, I'm the earth
But all you want is the moon
And all that I do is stand in between you

I want you to notice that I'd die for you
Or the stars in my eyes for you
But it's far too bright to look you in the eyes
And you can't stand to look into mine

It's dark when you follow the places that I go
The nightmares appear when I'm counting sheep
Your presence casts a shadow so softly in the mirror
The person staring back at me will never be clear

I want you to need me the way that I need you
And I'm hoping I see you more than the ellipses
Drag my face to the dirt
The only thing I'll ever learn
Is that I'm happy you held me, the pain barely hurts

If you listen too close to the song that I write
Then you'll find that you'd be behind every line
I'd seen what's around me
But I'd still feel fine till the beautiful thing
That you describe

The rain might hide the tears I cry
But I'm scared of the end like a child
Oh, and you seem to hate every friend that I make
I can't help but wonder if I'm just the same

Maybe I'll notice if I die for you
Or the stars in my eyes burn out for good

But if you want to, you're so fucking bad
Then burn me just to get out
Do me like I'm something
Scatter my ashes to the ground

I want you to follow
But what if you don't know
With the way that you feel, we'll last forever
Without you here, even if it hurts
We like to dance with people
For better or worse
