Time to be daring
A little more "jumps-off-cliffs"
And less tip-toeing
I'm getting tired
Believe me when I say it
Everything will change
Still surprises me
How breezy days get sunlight
tangled in my hair
Sometimes I can't see
Blinking, trying to cry, out,
These stars in my eyes
---
I was running out of time
Running into walls instead of across long bridges to sparkling cities
Ran into a problem, or two or three
Still running a temperature because these crashing thoughts spark little fires
But at least now I run in the right direction
You ask me this question
How do you know you love me?
But my dear
How does the sky know that it's blue?
How does the moon know it creates the tide?
How does a fire know to do anything but burn?
Sometimes, just sometimes
All things in the world are right
And the stars burn bright
I take life straight up
No sugar in my coffee
No "let's still be friends"
I'm all splashed in night
And the silence settles fast
Dark ripples fading
I make the tide roll and the thunder cry
Because I am a god
And that's what gods do
But I didn't ask to inherit the sky
I said I am too flawed
Can I watch the world with you?
