You can try to make it work
Tell me to find love
We're fighting for nothing
Living too long to find love
Either I have to make a change or leave
I know I said I'd do it, but you didn't see the strength in these eyes
I can only rest when you put your arms around me
"I wish we could have grown old together
So I guess, it's been too long
Telling you I loved you, was the best memory that I ever had
The best memory that I ever had, you see?"
If you'll be my star
I'll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
And you can sky-rocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by
If you be my boat
I'll be your sea
The depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free
But you can set sail to the west if you want to
And past the horizon till I can't even see you
Far from here where the beaches are wide
Just leave me your wake to remember you by
If you'll be my star
I'll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
But you can sky-rocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by
Stardust to remember you by
about
This album was recorded a while back by my good friend Alex, who moved to California to pursue his dream of being an audio engineer.
I wrote these songs for late night drives and deep thoughts, for background to conversation, and for my own health. Thank you for listening.
This album is for mom and for dad.
