elopers

i’ve been living in the clouds

and for a long time

your city lights have been

my distant stars

would you believe me

if i said i’ve dreamed of you

not just a few times?

you’ve been longing

to come see my city

and i’ve been longing

to go see yours

are you

awake?

shall we tonight?

come see the world

from up high with me?

moonlight’s still warm

promise we’ll be back

before the sun is up

i can drive us in this car

you might’ve seen it once

from afar and mistaken it

for a shooting star

no worries

your wish

is safe with me

we’ll cruise just a thousand miles

wear out every single cloud

say hello to the fox on the moon

the bunny on cloud nine

coast highways of the northern lights

visit the stars in your dream

build a constellation of our own

every grand little thing

we’ll do it all

before the sun comes

and brings me back

to the clouds and you

your planet
