Starlight Cities Letting Go
Hey distant memory
I'm still remembering your taste
And daylight will erase
Stars that I remember counting
Wait
There must be sunshine in my eyes
The road ahead
Seems bright
I'm bringing what I left behind
I never thought that you would ever disappear so
How did we end up here?
It seemed so certain time could take us home
But I think we finally know
Some things are better left alone
Hey angel
I don't want you watching me
Your touch is deadly
And I can't feel it anymore
So take all those poems about me
And songs you would have played
If we were married
You can play them somewhere new
Yet
I find I'm thankful for the taste you gave me
A sweeter memory of times you saved me
I never thought that you would ever disappear so
How did we end up here?
It seemed so certain time could take us home
But I think we finally know
Some things are better left alone
If I transcend this love I've held inside
All these temporary raptures in my life
My own insecurities may fade in time
Oh how can I say I wish you'd never saved me?
Guess I never learned to let things go
At least I know I'm not doing this alone
