between the lines

no one makes it out alive in paradise

the universe is so vast
and i am so small
but there's an entire universe
inside us all

i stare at the sky
the moon and a star
and although they're miles away
they don't feel very far

perhaps the black shade of my hair
was granted to me from the night
because maybe she knew that for me
a dark sky shined oh so bright

we live in a world
where we fucked up on the way
because everyone wants to speak
but no one has anything to say

i walk amongst these people
and although it can be glee
the universe within me
yearns for where it should be

i shift my head and meet your eyes
and you decide to speak up
did you make a wish
and i answer with a "yup."

what about you
i respond, and you turn and say
you know the way you look at the stars?
i want you to look at me the same way.

and for a split second
the stars burnt so bright
that i realized  no other universe except for yours
would ever feel so right
