20 Sounds So Much Older

 I sit outside and watch the moonbeams

Chasing down the sunset

But it won’t catch it

I watch the moon race across the night sky

To be defeated by the sunrise

And the stars hide

 

I’m just waiting for you to realize

That I’m the one breath

You need to take next

 

If you’re the sun then I’m the moonlight

That’s never in your line of sight

But I still try

In your life picture I’m just a background

Well maybe you could turn around

How does that sound?

 

I’m just waiting for you to realize

That I’m the one breath

You need to take next

And I know someday I’ll look into your eyes

And see the same spark

That burns in my heart

 

When we start to talk of how you’ve been

You smile and talk of him

But I hold it in
