Around You
My planets evolve around you
Like the triumphant sun in the spacious galaxies
My regrets dissolve away too
Like rock, reduced to pure crystal sand at ease
Chasing after you like a shooting star
In the moonlit, scarlet-black sky
You’re going so far, so far, so far, so far
I will admit — I am obsessed with you can’t lie
Can’t deny
Control it, the feelings that ruin me
Control it, the emotions that dare break me
I want to break free
I feel sad, no room for glee
My planets evolve around you
Around you, around you, oh so true
As if you’re my sun in the galaxies of the universe
Is life a gift or a curse?
I dream of tragedy in reverse
Let’s see what cheerfulness I can rehearse
My heart pounds like drums at nightfall
And I’m unstoppable like a runner on the ball
I’m capable of being stronger than I realize and all
Troubled, disturbed and struggling in a free-fall to stand tall
Chasing after you like a shooting star
In the moonlit, scarlet-black sky
You’re going so far, so far, so far, so far
I will admit — I am obsessed with you can’t lie
Can’t deny
Control it, the feelings that ruin me
Control it, the emotions that dare break me
I want to break free
I feel sad, no room for glee
My planets evolve around you
Around you, around you, oh so true
As if you’re my sun in the galaxies of the universe
Is life a gift or a curse?
I dream of tragedy in reverse
Let’s see what cheerfulness I can rehearse
It’s your turn to love me back
If not, back away from me
If not, be gone and let me backtrack
Back to the future of liberty
My planets evolve around you
Around you, around you, oh so true
As if you’re my sun in the galaxies of the universe
Is life a gift or a curse?
I dream of tragedy in reverse
Let’s see what cheerfulness I can rehearse
