The planets are prisoners
Of a merciless, beautiful sun
The galaxy's full of stars
But they cling to the familiar one
And the sun cannot slip away
From the galaxy's muscular arm
His center is caving in
But she's been seduced by his charm
Seduced by his radiant charm
And the pull you exert on me
Is some kind of ravenous gravity
So I'll be a moon to you
Always revolving around and around and around
Constantly falling
and constantly missing the ground
My dark side craves solitude
But one hemisphere thrives on your light
I'm drifting alone through space
But you notice me only at night
Oh, you're never out of my sight
So I'll hold my breath by your side
Hoping one day I can turn your tide
So I'll be a moon to you
Always revolving around and around and around
Constantly falling
and constantly missing the ground
If I make it to your core
To be crushed forever more
Then no light of mine will ever shine
But it's worth it, I am sure
Oh, it's worth it, I am sure
Must be worth it to be yours
