about

a star, a planet, and a satellite

one endlessly circling around one, that's endlessly circling around another

it's beautiful, but isn't it kind of sad too?

lyrics

i am the earth
i am the one you orbit daily
the fixation you love to linger on
and you are the moon
you are beside me dear endlessly
i wonder if i even miss you when you’re gone

i am the one so far away from you
and yet so near
you’re waiting for the day i finally see you
you whisper softly to me, across velvet sky,
“i’d really love to know you more,”
“i’d really love to know you more”

he’s the sun
he’s the center
of a system that would crumble if he left
how i love the heat
that being around him brings to me
can’t you see
that i feel
just the same as you?

he is the one so far away from me
and yet so near
i’m waiting for the day he finally sees me
i call out softly to him across velvet, starry sky
“i’d really love to know you more”
“i’d really love to know you more”
“i’d really love to get to know you more”

why are the ones so far away from us
those we want near?
when someone notices us,
why are they unseen?
we’re calling out but no one hears us
across velvet sky
“i’d really love to know you more”
(“you are the one that i adore”)
“i’d really love to get to know you more”

why is it hard to tell the ones we want
just how we feel?
and are we truly happy circling nearby?
trapped in space,
where no sound travels
across velvet sky
