Do you remember the time you met a girl from mars?
walking among humans,
you thought she was from the stars
gave you eyes and talked to you like no one else was in the room
you thought she kept you from your eternal doom
intriguing that you walked and talked like one and the same
we thought we were one and the same

at the end you were still missing something,
unsatisfied, in pain
your eternal doom came
you sent me back on a one way ticket to mars
back to the stars
but you see that is where i'm meant to be
and i might finally see
the people that are meant for me
are the ones that can roam free
not tied to the ground floor

soon i won't miss you anymore
so when your puppet strings finally tear and fall to the floor
and you can fly up and look and ask me for more

i won't be found
there is no man that will make me stay around

if i had a melody
it would have a tone that pulls you close
playful piano keys
bright green grass and dandelions
running on your bare toes
and feel a summer breeze
that's the melody that i want people to hear around me
the melody outside my mind

inside
it's not so bright
it's confusing and uneasy
bright red kite
flown in a thunderstorm
melody with no pattern or beat
you won't sit still in your seat

it'll make you wanna run
hide away to safety
back to bed
to turn it off

just turn it off

for gods sake just turn it off

and sleep

to finally hear your piano keys
and be at ease

oh, we all know
nothing is easy
but
your ability to lift up the corners of my lips sure is,
with your snarky little jokes
and your sly expression

nothing is picture perfect
i'd boldly say
if my life was a picture
it would be old
and yellowed by coffee stains
but
you take my photo back in time
reversing the falling mug
till
my photo is new and crisp

it is a miracle
you and i
it is a gift
a gift that i never thought id deserve to be granted
by her
the universe in all her glory

however you and i turn out
whichever path she sends us on
together or apart
our love is
a movie
a fairytale
my winter wonderland
my temporary fever dream

life that changes,
lovers that push you to grow and take the darkness out and shake it
clicking fires and smiling faces
tell me you love me under the warm welcoming stars
i see them in your eyes
i dive into them and they take me far
up into the sky,
i fly by
when i'm with you i'm not grounded
my angel ***** his wings
raises me high
to the planets, to the sky
no matter how high im warm from his fire
when were close our bodies emit sparks
that grow ever so higher
from the flame in our hearts
his heart, his soul
destiny takes control
as the universe unfolds

Lift
Lift another weight up on your shoulder girl
Sink
Sink down deeper into the ocean girl
and curl
curl your arms around your self
cause you only have yourself
you're a lone pearl
trapped in a clam shell
doors to heaven have slammed
so you're stuck in hell

there are no words that can even begin to explain
the love i feel for you
its like a hurricane
strong winds that lift my body into the air
you make me feel like i can fly
every time you look at me
with that twinkle in your eye

that twinkle, that look, that gaze
it makes me feel all sorts of ways

like a tsunami,
big tenacious waves,
wash over me and drown me in your arms
where i feel your warmth
and know im safe

safe from anymore pain
without you im scared my heart wont take it
your love pumping in my heart
and coursing through my veins

this love thats inside me
it gives me strength
helps me keep my chin up high
no matter how many rocky roads i must walk by
id be able to walk them even if im blind
cause at the end of the day i know
if you are my destination
i'll be just fine

you are my forever,
forever ever
