sound is a wave like a wave on the ocean
 moon plays the wave like a violin, pushing and pulling
 from shore to shore, biggest melody you never heard before, no
 
 what if i were the night sky? if i were the night sky
 it's my lullaby to leave by
 
 what if we hadn't been born at the same time
 what if you were 75 and were 9?
 would i still visit you?
 bring you cookies in an old folks' home
 would you be there alone?
 when the late summer (?) fires off in your arms
 will i remember to breathe? no, i never will.
 
 in a fire i could convince you that i mean you no harm
 just wanna show you i'm not too mean
 
 if i were the the night sky and if i were the night sky
 heres my lullaby
 my lullaby to leave by
 lullaby to leave by
 if i were the night
 
 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 me all the secrets you don't need to keep
 would i still miss you
 
 oh, would you then have been mine?
 
 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've never heard before
 
 what if i were the night sky? i were the night sky
 here's my lullaby to leave my
 my lullaby to leave by
 lullaby to leave by
 
 if i were the night sky
