Telescope

(album: Ghost Stories - 2015)

Through a darkened lens
I see you walk the earth
I tried counting stars again
Didn't want to get stuck to
The surface of this lifeless place
And I'll be sure to hide my face
When the sun comes up

Last night I saw the world from outer space
Through a telescope in our favorite place
I stole the moon for you, but I am here alone
I put you in the dark, so no one would know
Where you are

The dust of stars, crushed under my feet
And soon I think I'll fly away
And ask my bones if they can stay
A beacon in the black for all to see

Last night I saw the world from outer space
Through a telescope in our favorite place
I stole the moon for you, but I am here alone
I put you in the dark, so no one would know
Where you are

On the surface of the moon
I'll wait for you
On the surface of the moon
I'll wait for you

Last night I saw the world from outer space
Through a telescope in our favorite place
I stole the moon for you, but I am here alone
I put you in the dark, so no one would know
Where you are
