If I were the stars and you were the sun would I bask forever in your afterglow?
If I was the tide and you were the moon would you pull me softly, close to you?

It starts with one word and I feel it rising up in me
A little scared but then what feeling could it possibly be?

Oh, I think that I'm in love again

If I was the breath inside of your lungs would you whisper slowly or hold me in?
If I was no fun and you were all the rage would you keep me around anyways?

The winds are changing and I hear them howling desperately
A little frightened, there's no other spell it could possibly be

Oh, I think that I'm in love again
Oh, I think that I'm in love again

In Love Again

Sun drenched on a lazy day
Cold drinks in the morning
I fall asleep on an ocean wave
Get lost in laughter

Call the coast guard with the ransom
Take it easy on the rent
Be constructive in a daydream, I could live like this forever
Comatose with friends

Chase a beautiful green eyed girl
Hey, I think she likes me
I love her hair when it starts to unfurl
Backdrop of the evening

Throw a party on the train
Drown your worries in a cocktail
With the sunrise say your goodbyes
I know we will meet in the same place tomorrow
Here's a toast to the end

In an effort to make this last I turn off all the lights
I close my eyes and pretend I'm sleeping but in my head I'm sailing through the stars
Our love is strong, our love is weak, our love is all things
So don't get caught believing life's just a silhouette of dying

Call the coast guard with the ransom
Take it easy on the rent

Coma

Awake again, the words you said ' 
Come back to me in waves and leave me reeling 
You fought the plans to set the world on fire 
Blew all my joy away and left me feeling like a charlatan 

In my counterfeit revelry you steal the spotlight 
In my hidden turbulence I’m found 

It’s time to end it now 
Cut the cord and let me drown 

I trusted you, would’ve held your hand 
Through the darkness if you pleased 
But please remember 
We’ll meet again at another time 
Everything will be the same but loss familiar 

In my counterfeit revelry you steal the spotlight 
In my hidden turbulence I’m found 

It’s time to end it now 
Cut the cord and let me drown 

You said yourself you’re over it 
How could it be so wrong?

Shooting Star

You Are The Hybrid

Here's to the stars that are born and will fade away before their season 
Fireflies lost in the afternoon 

Blind behind the lens, this type of thought will one day do us in 
There's more to life than pride and negative thoughts too small to ride the ride 
My heart, my soul wasn't built for suffering 
I say it's time for spiritual reckoning 
Your reckoning 

Here's to the stars that are born and will fade away before their season 
Fireflies lost in the afternoon 
Here's to the boys and the girls that'll waste away without a reason 
Sometimes good souls die too soon 

What's this gloom good for? 
We should grab some sun and play this game outdoors 
There's more to life than pride and negative thoughts too small to ride the ride 
My heart, my soul wasn't built for suffering 
I say it's time for spiritual reckoning 
Your reckoning 

Here's to the stars that are born and will fade away before their season 
Fireflies lost in the afternoon 
Here's to the boys and the girls that'll waste away without a reason 
Sometimes good souls die too soon 

And all this time we waste when we could change the world 
And all this time we waste when we could change the world 
And all this time we waste when we could change the world 
And all this time we waste when we could change the world 
All this time we waste 
All this time we waste 

Here's to the stars that are born and will fade away before their season 
Fireflies lost in the afternoon 
Here's to the boys and the girls that'll waste away without a reason 
Sometimes good souls die too soon

Laniakea

I still remember when every night we spent was serene 
And days were evergreen 
But then the cold wind came, something started growing in you 
Yeah, your heart was beating blue 

I tried my best to defend you 
I thought hope was my ally 
Now sad eyes are looking right at me 
Turquoise, with skin snow white 

I watch the game film twice, three times, maybe four times a day 
And the film is going grey 
The question's always why you said no I didn't insist 
I feel drunk on amethyst 

I tried my best to defend you 
I thought hope was my ally 
Now sad eyes are looking right at me 
Turquoise, with skin snow white 

Don't say you wish you met me sooner 
The grass might stay green forever 
As days go by I can see it in your eyes 
Sometimes always leads to never 

I know, I know, I know 
It's time to let it go 
I know, I know, I know 
It's time to let it go
