Tahlia

We're eating ice-cream on the jetty

Of your house by the lake

The one you lived in seventh grade

And I was in the eighth

Your mother's out of town

Come sleep on my floor for a week

I'll find you a mattress

Please know that you'll always

Have a place to sleep

I always worry

'bout people turning to strangers

But never about you

I always wonder

Who'll still be here in twenty years

But never question you

You never see the stars

Without the moon

I got my license

We went driving all through the city

Now you've got yours after these years

And that makes me feel weird

We're growing up now

Your brothers live in a different state

I promise if that ever feels lonely

You have a place to stay

I always worry

'bout people turning to strangers

But never about you

I always wonder

Who'll still be here in twenty years

But never question you

I'm the stars

You're the moon

Nineteen and twenty feels so scary

Just want you to come over

And we'll rank the films we've watched

Talk 'bout the boy who loves me not

I know that your life is getting busy

Hope you still have time for me

To come lay on your couch

Even if we don't make a sound

I think 'bout when we were little kids

When you were five and I was six

Did our parents know it then

That we would be the best of friends

I watched you move countries then come back

I wonder which will be your last

Which one will you end up

And will it be the same one as me

I hope it is

But if it isn't, it won't matter cause

I always worry

'bout people turning to strangers

But never about you

I always wonder

Who'll still be here in thirty years

But never question you

Oh, the stars

Will never leave the moon
