lyrics

If the full moon shows her face tonight
and the stars break through the haze,
meet me by the water,
where the river meets the bay,
where the lightning strikes so far away
that the thunder never comes,
where your face reflects the fire
and the moon reflects the sun.

If this match can light the tinder,
and the tinder lights the log,
could we lie there by the fire,
where the smoke blends with the fog?
And if our fingers touch below the sand,
could we laugh and let them stay,
and let the fire fill the silence
with the things that we don't say?

It don't matter what we call it,
it just matters that it's there,
I've got one more night to hold you tight,
and two more flights of stairs

Down in LA
the only stars are on the sidewalk,
beneath the souls and soles of shoes
that are always running late.
Here in Half Moon Bay
I hold the only one that I've got,
and wonder how this ocean
doesn't spill right into space.
You point to the Big Dipper,
and I point to Orion,
those stars are spread by lightyears
but they still make perfect shapes,
for two pale white kids on a pale blue dot
in a big ass Milky Way,
yeah I guess four hundred miles
really ain't that far away.

It don't matter what we call it,
it just matters that it's there,
I've got one more night to hold you tight,
and two more flights of stairs.
