lyrics

12. Cosmic

(Chorus)
[Frank Sinatra]
Fly me to the moon.
Let me play among the stars.
Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars.

(Verse One)

I was a cute preschool kid, getting’ kisses on my cheek
before I grew to be a high school fool, foolin’ around in the back seat.
At 22 I broke free from the wild cat 's teeth
to find a place to reach for Love Over Lust,
and I found both the first time we touched,
so much trust in the rush
cuz our love was so unique.
(Chorus)
[Frank Sinatra]

Fill my heart with song and let me sing forever more
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.
(Verse Two)
Male lions fight for the right to spread their seed,
seeds, the female protects and feeds.
Peacocks select a male with the best genes.
Ladies pounce on a man that can meet they needs.
Men use poetry, SUVs, and designer jeans to scheme.
When you hear the meows in the background,
just be proud, cuz you know now that
everytime I hold you close I can’t let go.
Addiction.
Hey, I can't let go.
Every time I hold you close, I can't let go 'oh 'oh 'oh.
Humans see beauty, wanna claim it as their own.
Flowers in the dirt, can’t leave them alone.
We met when
we were barley grown.
Love ain’t a word to own, but a word to give.
It takes shade to grow and pain to live.
The sum of your love
is inside my bones.
Keeps these legs runnin’ runnin’ runnin’ runnin' runnin' back to
YOU
Locked your bike up the month we broke up.
Someone stole your seat while we fell asleep.
It was there for weeks.
It made me think of your physique.
YOU
can’t hide those true brown eyes
underneath that midnight sky.
Mumbling a Humphrey Bogart line
I dream of a casa blanca.
(Chorus)
[Frank Sinatra]

Fill my heart with song and let me sing forever more
You are all I long for,
All I worship and adore.
In other words please be true.
In other words I love
(Verse Three)
YOU
Got that classic style,
type of grace to make my momma smile.
YOU
love like quicksand, your lips and
charm, girl, god damn!
YOU
know I gotta roam this open road
to build a home for me and
YOU
Know the possessed are possessed
by the things they own.
You know its complex, but it’s TRUE.
YOU
used to groove in grade school, gettin’ funky on the trombone.
When you feel all alone,
like I’m too far away and your arms too short to reach the right note.
Know that YOU
control the blues of my heart beat,
cross fade with the memories in a symphony of joy and grief.
Star glow seeps in the space where we meet.
Stars aren’t made from big screens.
Nope.
It takes years of light to receive the night above you and me.
I use the mic to recite and weave
this story of the heart.
Love is the greatest art
and I love YOU!
