I got a love, glistens in the moonlight
East side of the city where it's a little less bright
And I don't usually fall hard but this time
I'm burning up like bare feet on concrete in the summertime
When it was our time, we go hand in hand
And fell asleep with the stars and the waves on the sand
Felt like another land that I would never understand
Getting dizzy in my head
But it came to a halt within a minute or two when
Your time was up, your motherland, she was calling for you
You packed up your bags, tied up your shoes
Locked pinkies together and said, "I'll see you soon"
I know that you wanna go high and so do I
We'll keep this alive, keep this alive, yeah
You said that you wanna go far and so will I
We'll shoot for the stars, shoot for the stars, yeah
It's good to leave, to love a little more
She's been skipping my breath, she doesn't even know it yet
And how many times can I say that I miss you?
Not really something that I wanna get used to but
I've been thinking 'bout the days to come, we'd lay in the sun
Waking up late for the coffee run and
A couple words that are sitting on the tip of my tongue
I'm breathing easy but I'm getting kind of heavy in my lungs
I know that you wanna go high and so do I
So we'll keep this alive, keep this alive, yeah
You said that you wanna go far and so will I
We'll shoot for the stars, shoot for the stars, yeah, yeah
♪
And now we're here, sitting on your bedroom floor
I feel like I'm high, somewhere on the 18th floor
Was that a metaphor? Well I'm not really sure
But all I know is that it's you honey that I adore and
Right hands got a ticket to fly over the Pacific
And you wouldn't wanna miss it
I miss your coastal kisses when I'm feeling low
Somewhere back at home
I'll sneak some of your love in checked baggage below
And I don't really know how long it's gonna take
For this world of ours to clean up its mistakes
But we'll sit and wait, yeah we'll sit and wait
'Cause on the horizon I can see the better days, yeah, yeah
♪
I know that you wanna go high and so do I
So we'll keep this alive, keep this alive, yeah
You said that you wanna go far and so will I
We'll shoot for the stars, shoot for the stars, yeah
