"Show me how you do that trick 
The one that makes me scream" she said 
"The one that makes me laugh" she said 
And threw her arms around my neck 
"Show me how you do it 
And I promise you I promise that 
I'll run away with you 
I'll run away with you" 
Spinning on that dizzy edge 
I kissed her face and kissed her head 
And dreamed of all the different ways I had 
To make her glow 
"Why are you so far away?" she said 
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you 
That I'm in love with you" 

You 
Soft and only 
You 
Lost and lonely 
You 
Strange as angels 
Dancing in the deepest oceans 
Twisting in the water 
You're just like a dream 

Daylight licked me into shape 
I must have been asleep for days 
And moving lips to breathe her name 
I opened up my eyes 
And found myself alone alone 
Alone above a raging sea 
That stole the only girl I loved 
And drowned her deep inside of me 

You 
Soft and only 
You 
Lost and lonely 
You 
Just like heaven



Interpretation: You loved the trick, how I was able to play with the world, with reality, spin up a world all our own. How I made you dizzy, spinning on the edge of wild happiness. I had so many ways to make you happy, to make you glow. How like a distant, strange dream you are. Now I find myself awakened from our dream to reality, mouthing your name. I found myself alone in this world, near that which took the only girl I loved from me and which put you deep inside me.
Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars
I'm gonna give you my heart
'Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars
'Cause you light up the path
I don't care, go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do
'Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you
'Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars
I want to die in your arms, arms
'Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark
I'm going to give you my heart
And I don't care, go on and tear me apart
And I don't care if you do
'Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you
I think I see you
Because you're a sky, you're a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
You're such a heavenly view


Interpretation: When things are dark, you light up my way. I gave you my heart because I trust that when things are darkest, you will still be with me. When you got sick, you tore me apart, things got darker and darker. No matter how dark things got, you were always a sky full of stars. I knew that you would be, so I didn't care that you tore me apart over and over, you were always my guide. The depth of my trust makes me want to die in your arms, but I have to live. Your gentleness is a heavenly view.
