Light Up
Illuminating Longing: Moxie Starpark's Melancholic Yearning
Lyrics
I look through a window all covered with dust
I observe through a dusty window
It reminds me of my old house, the sounds and the touch
It triggers memories of my old home, the sounds, and the tactile sensations
There's a man in the doorway
A man is in the doorway
He likes to tell stories
He enjoys sharing stories
He thinks that my purpose, my purpose is unclear
He believes my purpose is unclear
Too much time for nothing, not even a beer
Too much idle time, not even a beer
So I revise my seconds thoughts and I wish you were here
I reconsider my thoughts and wish someone was present
I wish I could light up this place like you light up my face
I desire to brighten this place as much as you brighten my face
I wish I could light up this place like you light up my face
I wish to bring light to this space like the joy you bring to my face
It's all unfamiliar, these things that I see
All seems unfamiliar, what I see is new
So I hope that tomorrow brings a blast of relief
I hope tomorrow provides much-needed relief
You know I can't remember, plans are made in a rush
I can't recall plans, hastily made
So I'd rather forget this, I don't like them enough
I prefer to forget them, not valuing them much
I call home to hear familiar voices on the phone
I dial home to hear familiar voices
But the last ring reminds me that I'm far and alone
The last ring reminds me of distance and solitude
You know that if they answered I'd have nothing much to say
If they answered, I'd lack much to say
So I close my eyes and realize it's better off this way
I close my eyes, realizing it's better this way
I wish I could light up this place like you light up my face
I wish to illuminate this space as you brighten my face
I wish I could light up this place like you light up my face
I hope to bring light to this place as your presence brightens my face
