Alaska

There are some, there are some things that I didn’t see
Floating away now is very clear
Take me back down to my first kiss
To the last touch of the one I miss

Can we please, can we be sixteen again?
Can you ask me once more for a dance
In the school playground? Now I’ll be brave
This time I’ll say yes. Can we be sixteen again?

Had I known with my bags packed
And eager foot right out the door
That I never would come back
I would’ve cried so much more

I’m over Alaska
And it’s getting smaller now
I’d need a telescope to see you
And the distance makes me cry

Earth will soon be nothing
But a blue dot in the dark
The one that doesn’t blossom for me
But I breathe because she does

And now I’m
Leaving everything behind

I’m over Alaska
And it’s getting smaller now
I’d need a telescope to see you
And the distance makes me cry

Earth will soon be nothing
But a blue dot in the dark
The one that doesn’t blossom for me
But I breathe because she does

And now I’m
Leaving everything behind…

Can we be sixteen again?
Can I be sixteen again?
Or should I stay here
On this magpie bridge
Where Altair and Vega meet?
Provided it doesn’t rain
Provided it doesn’t rain
Can I be sixteen again?

I’m over Alaska
And it’s getting smaller now
I’d need a telescope to see you
And the distance makes me cry
