(INTRO)
City skylines- and pretty skylights- how do you ever- sleep at night
(VERSE 1)
The Streetlights look like stars- so sparse and so dark- oh but they are never setting stars-
and their song is sung on silent guitars- And in a room like a record store- there are shooting
stars between the sheets- I glow for you- you shine for me
(CHORUS)
When I look at you I see- all the things that made you blue- and I wait for you in white-
I dream that we could be the painted sky- Midsummer before the stars fall at night
(VERSE 2)
I spent two years under the moon- but the sun is rising- its coming up soon-
Those with wax wings should not fly too close- Those with wax hearts should not hold too
close- to the sun- to the the sun
(TRANSITION)
Heaven is empty- cuz I saw it myself- I’d rather go back to that party in hell-
(VERSE 3)
Without a penchant for pain- or a purpose for pleasure- it seem strange to me that you would
endure such wicked weather-
I see through the storm with the mind of a diamond and the heart of a whore
But baby I’ve been here before- with gentle eyes I watch the darkness pour through the door
(CHORUS)
When I look at you I see- all the things that made you blue- and I wait for you in white-
I dream that we could be the painted sky- Midsummer before the stars fall at night
