Well the second star has shown
Keep your wishes to yourself
Whatever you said to make her stay
Was worthless
(Her smell still fills the air)
It's a taste, a taste I can't let go
(It's under the surface here)

I think my ribs are breaking from this weight
I'm waiting to leave you wanting, but I'm too late
I thought that I could always rely on my instincts
I think my lungs are too scared to breathe
But I think this heart is ready to believe
Escape, just run... her back is turned
The nerves are all from eyes on you.

I stand here between the earth and the sky
With the wind at my back and the sun in my eyes
The many pieces of our conversations
Have come together tonight I'll sing
I stare up so very lost tonight
With strings in my hands to turn the stars out like lights
The many pieces of our conversations
Have come together tonight we'll dance.

Well the second star has shown
Keep your wishes to yourself

Play soft beside your love
Step light upon the dust
You test the hands you hold
You breathe in air you stole...

Will you sing with me dear august?
"let the amber lights forgive our names"

There is a moment that will always get the best of me, you in my arms
And yours eyes inside my soul...
There is a moment that will always get the best of me,
When I'm there with you I forfeit control
