make a wish on a shooting star
did you wish to know who you are,
beneath this disguise?
…look into my eyes

we are the same,
and not just you and me
the more we see the less we think
about this strange reality

spinning round, coming down,
is it a spiral of light?
maybe a spiral of night?
I’m in a spiral tonight

but it’s alright I tell myself
and see the dust upon my shelf
reminding me who I might be
if I could truly be me

but not tonight, no not tonight
in new light I’ll do it right
I’ll be a candle in the night

I’ll be the me that I could see
upon that mountain like a dream
so many things I could see,
so I guess I’ll be me
