about

"you were my earth"

lyrics

and with a smile like an ocean wave, you catapulted 'round the sun
to meet me at the other side and tell me that you found it fun
swimming in the uv rays, you shouted like the sound of thunder
booming through my stupid shades and shook all of the ground undone

i slipped into your beauty like a mudslide
and on my search, i found nothing but upsides
your arms extend like branches, when we touch i
feel the bark begin to soften up at all my sappy punchlines

and maybe that's the reason...

you're my earth
you're the planet
you're the grass
the wind and tides

and now that you're gone, i feel so out of place
and now that you're gone, i'm just drifting through space
and now that you're gone, i feel so out of place
and now that you're gone, i'm just drifting through space

and when we split up like pangea, i was hoping that we could reform
a land bridge between our seperate pieces of the earth before
our disconnect began to breed a species that would hurt much more
than carnivores or herbivores or wrecklessness and urban swarm

or maybe i could wash up on a certain shore, smiling
past a long night of drinking in the lights above the island
watching lightning flash every time you open up your eyelids
gentle smirks exploding like a fire in the sky

until you scared away the forest creatures, sleeping in the trees
and they began to huddle next to me, weeping in the leaves
see, i watched you change the temperature, increasing the degrees
until the warmth was just enough to let them nestle into peace

i never thought there'd be a problem that we couldn't solve
when you control the weather's climate and the sea levels and all
but i suppose that when an earthquake splits the crust among the faults
i shouldn't act as if the damage wouldn't break up those involved

you were my earth
you were the planet
you were the grass
the wind and tides

and now that you're gone, i feel so out of place
and now that you're gone, i'm just drifting through space
and now that you're gone, i feel so out of place
and now that you're gone, i'm just drifting through space
