Telescope

Through a darkened lens
I see you walk the earth. I tried
Counting stars again
Didn’t want to get stuck to
The surface of
This lifeless place
And I’ll be sure to hide my face
When the sun comes up

Last night I saw the world
From outer space, through a telescope
In our favorite place. I stole the moon for you, but I am here alone
I put you in the dark, so no one would know
Where you are

The dust of stars, crushed under
My feet. Soon I think I’ll fly away
And ask my bones if they will
Stay, a beacon in the black
For all to see

Last night I saw the world
From outer space, through a telescope
In our favorite place. I stole the moon for you, but I am here alone
I put you in the dark, so no one would know
Where you are

On the surface of the moon
I’ll wait for you

Last night I saw the world
From outer space, through a telescope
In our favorite place. I stole the moon for you, but I am here alone
I put you in the dark, so no one would know
Where you are
