Not sure where I was going here, but it made sense in my head.
I was listening to
Mae - The Everglow while I wrote this one.
My intentions are pure, they are
But I can already see it clear
Something's gonna get in the way
I just want to show you who I am
'Cause it's not that hard, no
I do it all the time
For once, I wanted it to mean more
I wanted it to be mine
You're just a picture in the sky
One I've been looking at since I was young
Back when I was hopeless and shy
Burning up inside the stars
And shining so bright next to the moon
Oh, I don't know who you are
Or where you've been
Feels like I've been wasting my time
As if I had something better to do tonight
So I tell myself,
"It's worth the sleepless nights,
You're not so far from the sky"
I keep gazing, hoping
For a star to fall into my arms
And I'd call it mine, but it's not for me
Not for me to decide
What this is and why I'm still trying
You're just a picture in the sky
One I've been looking at since I was young
Back when I was hopeless and shy
Burning up inside the stars
And shining so bright next to the moon
Oh, I don't know who you are
Or where you've been
Feels like I've been wasting my time
As if I had something better to do tonight
You're just a picture in the sky
One I've been looking at since I was young
Back when I was hopeless and shy
Burning up inside the stars
And shining so bright next to the moon
Oh, I don't know who you are
Or where you've been
Feels like I've been wasting my time
As if I had something better to do tonight
I'm carrying this thought
To the edge of daylight now
I just want to wake up
But everyone's always caught
In between the sun and the moon
Over one thing or another
It happened so soon,
So hold on and we'll make it through
Because either way,
There's a light shining
And it will guide us to where we belong
It will guide us home
I'll call this song my own
