I Miss You, Wherever You Are

Where you are, is it midnight?

Come on now and dry your eyes.

You’ve got some crazy plans in the works

And I’ll be there for you even when it hurts.

Do you still hang out at the canal–

Watch the battery powered ships set sail?

Do you still walk that greenbelt path?

Do you still think true love always lasts?

From way up here

Everybody looks the same.

The rivers look like roads–

The fields look like boardgames.

The highways are tattoos

Connecting all the painted cityscapes.

From up here…

Everything… Well, it looks okay.

Where you are, are you safe?

Come on then, there are no mistakes.

You’ve got your health, your head, your schemes

And I’ll be there waiting for you in your dreams.

Do you still buy popcorn for two

When you’re at the movies feeling blue?

Do you still wander coffee shops in the dark?

And make new friends who share your smarts?

From way up here

Even you are a star.

Nebulas look like fractals and sparks

And meteors are like fireworks.

The Milky Way is just a spiraling affair

All our souls are shaking hands, unaware.

From up here…

From way up here…

Well…
