Turn on the lights
And watch the reflections
Starlight on her
Flawless complexion
She doesn't see
The forest for the trees
Devil in the details
Angel in my dreams
Daylight fades and darkness falls
Birds fly south for winter's call
And I try just to manage at all
Take me here to Mars
Let's begin again
Take me with my scars
And understand that
Patience is a virtue that I wasn't blessed with
And you've given me so much more than I could ever understand
Or ask for I'm the sun and love's the stars
And my girlfriend is the moon
Turn all the tides
And wash away the reckless
Shifting sands of time
Give me some direction
She's learned more
Than I will ever know
Devil in the details
Angel in the snow
Daylight fades and darkness falls
Birds fly south for winter's call
And I try just to manage at all
Take me here to Mars
Let's begin again
Take me with my scars
And understand that
Patience is a virtue that I wasn't blessed with
And you've given me so much more than I could ever understand
Or ask for I'm the sun and love's the stars
And my girlfriend is the moon
What we get and what we deserve
Are never quite the same thing in the end
And I always feel like I've been given more
Than anyone could think of
More than I could ever imagine
Take me here to Mars
Let's begin again
Take me with my scars
And understand that
Patience is a virtue that I wasn't blessed with
And you've given me so much more than I could ever understand
Or ask for I'm the sun and love's the stars
And my girlfriend is the moon
My girlfriend is the moon
