THE GREAT AMERICAN ECLIPSE
laid down cause i got so tired
waiting in the dark for you
fourteen years to kindle fire
but when i ask you never do
i took a keepsake from your room
a playing card that you won’t miss
and on the back there was the moon
from the great american eclipse, oh
keep telling me about your dreams
but i know you never sleep at night
why are you staring at the sun
when you can’t even look me in the eye
the crickets came the sky went dark
and we watched from the fire escape
the neighbor’s dog could only bark
as we blurred the lines of night and day
we played a game of truth or dare
and everyone watched as we kissed
my fingers through your long black hair
we’re the great american eclipse, oh
keep telling me about your dreams
but i know you never sleep at night
why are you staring at the sun
when you can’t even look me in the eye
i don’t wanna burn out now
we’ve come so far i don’t know how
to live inside your shadow
to live inside your shadow
oh, victim of your boiling touch
i didn’t know it’d hurt this much
the venus to my sappho
the venus to my sappho
