Take Me To The Stars
There was a time when we were close
Best friends, it seemed
But then something happened
And I don’t know for sure what it was
I’m too scared to ask
Too scared to know
I can’t open that book
For the first time in my life
I see you all around me
Is it just my mind?
I’m lying on a mountain
Covered by the crisp leaves of trees
Up above me is mist
Down below me is fog
Where do I go?
For now I’m lost up here
Alone
How I like it
But alone isn’t the same as lonely
Goodbye isn’t the same as gone
When you left me up here all alone
All I could think was why
Finally told some of the wiser trees
They told me to leave you be
But something lingers in my mind
A wisp of a memory
And the stars,
The stars twinkle above me
I remember your words
But I don’t really know you
I knew your mind,
I knew your thoughts
I once thought I knew your heart
I’m telling you now
Because I might change my mind
I’m giving you one more chance
To take me from this mountaintop
And take me to the stars
