If sound is a wave, like a wave on the ocean
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
Pushing and pulling from shore to shore
Biggest melody you never heard before
What if I were the night sky?
Here's my lullaby to leave by
What if we hadn't been born at the same time?
What if you were 75 and I were 9?
Would I come visit you,
Bring you cookies in an old folks home?
Would you be there alone?
And when the late summer lightning fires off in your arms, will I remember to breathe? No, I never will
And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm
Just want to show you how not to need
What if I were the night sky?
Here's my lullaby to leave by
What if we hadn't been each other at the same time?
Would you tell me all the stories from when you were young and in your prime?
Would I rock you to sleep?
Would you tell all the secrets you don't need to keep?
Would I still miss you,
Or would you then have been mine?
If sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
Moon plays the ocean like a violin
