I'll admit I'm not content looking at my feet
But daylight brings this burning chill and I can't stand the heat
If I were old I'd move the sky
But only at night when you pass me by
Why must you leave me in the morning starlight?
I will stay behind and wait
Until I see you again tomorrow night
I can't deal with this day
Waking up is always hard but with you it's worse
My eyes open and you're gone I wish time would reverse
I roll over and close my eyes
And I pretend that I'm the darkened sky
Why must you leave me in the morning starlight?
I will stay behind and wait
Until I see you again tomorrow night
I can't deal with this day
