You were my Earth
And with a smile like an ocean wave
You catapult around the Sun
And meet me at the other side
To tell me that you found it fun
Swimmin’ in the UV rays
You shouted like the sound of thunder
Boomin’ through my stupid shades
You shook all of the ground undone
I slipped into your beauty like a mudslide
And on my search I found nothing but upsides
Your arms extend like branches
Whenever we touch I feel the bark begin to
Soften up at all my sappy punch lines
Maybe that’s the reason
You’re my earth
You’re the planet
You’re the grass
The wind and tides
And now that you’re gone
I feel so out of place
And now that you’re gone
I’m just driftin’ through space
And now that you’re gone
I feel so out of place
And now that you’re gone
I’m just driftin’ through space
And when we split up like Pangea
I was hopin’ that we could reform
A landbridge between our separate pieces of the earth
Before our disconnect began to breed a species
That would hurt much more
Than carnivores, herbivores, recklessness or urban swarm
Maybe I could wash up on a certain shore
Smilin’ past a long night of drinkin’
And the lights above the island
Watching lightnin’ flash every time
You open up your eyelids
Gentle smirks exploding like a fire in the sky
Until you scared away the forest creatures
Sleepin’ in the trees
They began to huddle next to me
Weepin’ in the leaves
See I watched you change the temperature
Increasin’ the degrees
Until the warmth was just enough
To let them nestle into peace
I never thought there’d be
A problem that we couldn’t solve
When you control the weather’s climate
And the sea levels and all
But I suppose that when an earthquake
Splits the crust above the faults
I shouldn’t act as if the damage
Wouldn’t break up those involved
You were my earth
You were the planet
You were the grass
The wind and tides
And now that you’re gone
I feel so out of place
And now that you’re gone
I’m just driftin’ through space
And now that you’re gone
I feel so out of place
And now that you’re gone
I’m just driftin’ through space
