The Universal Language of Love

(verse 1) The stars speak to me

shimmering in the blackened sky

they can't reach out to me

far too scared and far too high

I'm the thing close to breaking point

close to nothing but oh so far

I'm everything you could ever need

but you're too many stars apart

(chorus) like Mercury, I'm in retrograde

moving further away

I'm the second the closest to the end

I am nothing near okay

I hope sometime you'll visit me again

and you'll see just what I mean

(verse 2) the clouds conceal me

white and milky the summer sky

they can't reach out to me

far too afraid and too low to try

I'm the thing close to breaking point

close to everything but oh so far

You mean everything to me

but you're too many stars apart

(verse 2) like Mercury, I'm in retrograde

moving further away

I'm the second the closest to the end

I am nothing near okay

I hope sometime you'll visit me again

and maybe we can talk about the end

(musical interlude and vocal stuff that isn't words)

(bridge) I'm so close to you but I'm light years away-ay

We could be so much better if the stars weren't in the way

I'd be so much more happy with you

the universal language isn't enough to get me through

I need someone there to hold me

to tell me I'm al-right

I need something more than love to

keep.

me.

through.

the.

night!

(chorus) like Mercury, I'm in retrograde

moving further away

I'm the second the closest to the end

I am nothing near okay

I hope sometime you'll visit me again

and maybe we can talk about the end

(fade out with soft strums or piano notes, whichever I end up choosing.)
