Blue

skim the surface, find the feeling

there's enough ocean in me

full of water over under

i don't care about the sea

you're a buoy and a moor

you're an anchor and an oar

pull you inside me

i need wind behind me

leave you in the sea

storm and stars, black warnings

port and hearth, heart's warming

drift apart

go home

go home

drift apart

skipping heart, fleeing sinking

slick the stone, felt and flying

leave you in the sea

i need wind behind me

pull you inside of me

i need wind behind me

you're an anchor and an oar

you're a buoy and a moor

i don't care about the sea

there's enough ocean in me

pull you inside of me

i need wind behind me

all light is the moon

you told me that moths follow moonlight
and so moths fall into flame
because in their minds it's always nighttime
and all light is the moon

"what if i held out a match?" i said
"what if i was light?"
"what if my body became covered in moth bodies?"
"what if my eyes were covered by wings?"

you said "well, when they settled onto you"
"they'd think they'd found the moon,
and they'd never leave you.
no, they'd never leave you."

"and if they got too close?" i said
"if they flew into my flame?"
"then they'd circle you afire," you said
"become disasters - wandering stars"

so i said: "then, your light is a candle
your light is a flame
for i know it only as the moon
i know it only as the moon

and i'll never leave you
no, i'll never leave you
i'll wrap my wings around you
and i will follow only you"

"then i'll burn you with my fire," you said
"and i'll eat you up in flames"
"for i am a disaster," you said
"i'm a wandering star"
