Manta Rays

Manta rays above us

In the open sea

I wonder if you think of me.

Now we're swimming deeper

Nothing's as it seems

Creatures sailing silently.

Or so I've dreamed

Since I met you

I've been hollowed by your body

I've been hypnotized by all you are

Oh, all I want

Is to know your name

and whisper it in your ear,

But I'm weightless like I'm falling on the moon.

I'm falling slow for you...

Driving through the darkness

We are glowing green

You're holding my hand to your cheek.

This car is our vessel

Our tires leave the ground

Up above the night sky, we're going home.

Or so I've dreamed

Since I met you

What secrets do you hide?

You tilt your head, there's a city inside.

All I want

Is to know your name

And whisper it in your ear

With your arms around my neck.

You've haunted me in colors

I've never seen

I feel strange and unprotected,

But I'm weightless like I'm falling on the moon.

I'm falling slow for you...

Sailing through the dark to the lunar face

Your pupils shining over time and space

We are two creatures each wrapped around

The other without a sound,

Safe at home,

Falling slowly.
