lyrics

Why be alone
Why be alone in the dark
You keep my fingers cupped to the sky
In the shape of a heart
With a half moon hangin inside

Why be alone
Why be alone in the dark
Tap on the glass 'cause
I'd gladly breathe through a slit in a jar
For the chance to illuminate your room

But you capture and you keep
Let it glow by your bed like a dream
That you missed when you can't sleep
But bug lights leave
Faces in screens
And all reappear where your shelter retreats again

Light on your feet
Waltzin' out of a ballroom
Deep in your dreams
I'm flying low
So dance your way to the sky
Let's find a place in the middle
That we can finally meet

And not be alone
Not be alone in the dark
Who's gonna brighten shadows on your wall
If you suffocate 'em all
For the chance to illuminate your room

So follow em past the cars
Wave a net at every star you can find
Through the fields in your front yard
Now we're standing on the outside lookin in

Outside looking in
Outside looking up
Outside look at them
Outside look at us
