I know that I’m fretful

I’ve been told that I worry

One foot in my mouth already

So the other’s not in a hurry

 

A mouthful of things that
I desperately want to say

And now I can but

Somehow I can’t make it okay

 

Having fallen before

I know that this isn’t the same

I don’t know what this is

Or what happened to her name

 

Because when I think of it

Her name, her label

My spine straightens,

And I’m unable

 

To think about anything

That isn’t great

It’s why I’m grinning now

And why I stay up late

 

Dreaming of her

A multicolor magnet

Viscous violet to soft blue

My beautiful magnate

 

She could change the world

With a smile that bright

And even in the dark

Glacial eyes look right

 

Right at the stars

Seeing the space

That I don’t understand

Save for her embrace

 

So when I hold her

I can touch the sky

This weightlessness

Leaves me wondering why

 

I was the one

Lucky enough to find a star

After it fell to earth

How bizarre

 

That the northern lights

Can turn and look me dead in the eye

Pronounce my full name

And tell me that I’m the guy

 

Who gets to be closer

To auroras than the moon

And she touches my hand

And asks for a tune

 

So I’ll sing my heart out

Night after night after night

Writing and making songs

If she thinks they’re alright

 

Because on a larger scale

Outside of my home

My street, my continent

This physical cosmodrome

 

She deserves the world

So, looking right at her face

I’ll grab her hand

And say

 

Let’s go to space
