i m shooting for the stars to hit the moon mapping out a course for both my shoes i ve already practiced acting like there s nothing to it try to hold the world together in my mind try to make it snow in mid july try to prove my heart is worth the blood that s pumping through it praying like a child on christmas eve father won t you raise the sun early if you do this one last thing for me i ll be your soldier and it takes you by surprise like a rebel tide like lightning from the sky has been searching for you and it splits you like a knife the moment that it strikes when you realize that death looking for you i try to put my hopes above my doubts try to keep my thoughts above my mouth i feel like a satellite just dying to leave my orbit i take another shot at faking love miss it by a mile and then some my insides are thirsty for whatever drink you re pouring praying like a child on christmas eve father won t you raise the sun early i ask an awful lot of both my needs just waiting for you and it takes you by surprise like a rebel tide like lightning from the sky has been searching for you and it splits you like a knife the moment that it strikes when you realize that death looking for you it takes you by surprise like a rebel tide like lighting from the sky he s been searching for you and it splits you like a knife the very moment that it strikes when you find out that death looking for you
