"People always say they want to be the sun that lights up your life. Well, I'd rather be the moon. Let me shine for you in your darkest hour."

In my shades,
I chase away the days
In the sun,
I jump in and swim away
In starlight,
I’m space bound
In moonlight,
Love is found
In the darkest days,
Justice prevails
Through silent spells
And I’m running back to your arms
I come undone in you
I cry and say “We’re not done”
Then I hide behind my shades
