Watching stars fade into morning Through my window, time moves slow Something holds me back from calling As the world sleeps down below My phone sits silent on the table Your name burns bright on the screen I type words I'm not quite able To send into the in-between Moon, keep my secrets safe tonight All these words I cannot say Moon, be my witness in the quiet As I slowly drift away (Keep them safe, keep them safe tonight) Every car that passes by now Makes me think you're coming home But the street remains so empty As I sit here all alone And the words we left unspoken Float like dust in morning rays The night feels heavy with meaning While the stars keep watch above I'm caught between staying and leaving In this space we used to love (Used to love, used to love) Should I break this silence? Would you even understand? The distance keeps on growing Like footprints in the sand I close my eyes and wonder If you're lying awake too The morning's getting closer And I still can't reach through Moon, keep my secrets safe tonight All these words I cannot say Moon, be my witness in the quiet As I slowly drift away (Keep them safe, keep them safe tonight) The sun will rise, and once again I'll pretend I never tried To reach across this distance Where my thoughts of you reside
