If the World Was You

You are afraid of the dark
Because you are too full of light
And I would keep you in this sun-soaked place
I would hold you with all of my might


     If the world was you….
     If the world was you….
     Why can’t the world be you


You smile and the stars all align
You laugh and the rivers rejoice
And I would see only those eyes
And I would hear only that voice


     If the world was you….
     If the world was you….
     Why can’t the world be you


          But I must go out in obsidian night
          Shoot holes in the sorrowful moon
          I must deal with all of this darkness
          I must live in the ruins too soon

     If the world was you….
     If the world was you….
     Why can’t the world be you


You live in a world that spins stories
I live in a world that deals blows
You go where the rainbows all follow
I go where the wind never knows


     But if the world was you….
     If the world was you….
     Why can’t the world be you
