When you were sat with your glass of wine
Both hands raised to the sky
With the silhouette of Eva Braun
From the distant streetlights on the other side of town
You waved your arm
Traced shapes in the stars
Faux-constellations of things you saw
That would disappear if you stopped looking any more
I try to tell you what I wanted to say
Before you sleep or you leave
The world could keep you for a long time
A long, long time
And so could I
I met a girl like you today.
She had her hair like yours, and she dressed the same
I fell in love all over again
I would wash her clothes, I would meet her friends
She thought it through,
said “My stars were true,
They said I would meet you today,
I’m not ready for my life to change”
I try to tell you what I wanted to say
Before you sleep or you leave
The world could keep you for a long time
A long, long time
And so will I
