about

For all the emotional accessibility and honesty of the Small Stars songs, this is the only straight-up love song on the album. For you, M.

lyrics

once upon a time I had a dream 
I sank without a sound beneath the stream 
and just before the waters sealed me in
you appeared and gave me breath again

like roots that grow together after time 
the tendrils on the bower intertwine 
without you here I falter in the dark
I’m just a wildfire kindling from your spark

everything that’s left of me, the pull upon my tide 
reflecting pale the flashing of your light 
and I don’t know what I would do 
without you by my side 
my skies are full, the stars are yours tonight 

you give me hell when I stop making sense 
you lay me down when you’re my last defense 
and to think I once could manage on my own 
if I should lose you, I’d turn myself to stone 

I know what it means to lose your trust 
I know how it feels to fade to dust 
and I don’t ever want to feel that way again 
it pulls me under to think what might have been 

everything that’s left of me, the pull upon my tide 
reflecting pale the flashing of your light 
and I don’t know what I would do 
without you by my side 
my skies are full, the stars are yours tonight
