You Light Me Up, Then You Gone

I just stepped out of the dark, looked up to see the stars A point of light that cut across the endless void so far You walked out from the Milky Way Like a flame in frozen night Setting all the sky alight
I could never reach your side Orbiting in circles, tied I could only watch you fade, little by little Like shattered stardust blown away Scattered by the wind that day
If I burn into a meteor Would you look up from where you are The one that's falling, set ablaze Is my goodbye I never gave
You light me up, then you gone Like dust that crashed into a star Left a spark and nothing more Fading in the endless dark I reached my hand to hold the light But only echoes filled the night
I have found stars in the sky Jupiter, Venus One for light, one for dark Thousands of star, thousands of none Like you, like me One is burning, one is still Across the galaxy we spin But never crossed the space between
Still I see you through the Milky Way You're carrying the light I gave But orbits never learned to speak We're destined to be singularities So let me burn inside your gravity One last time, a blinding sea
You light me up, then you gone Like dust that crashed into a star Left a spark and nothing more Fading in the endless dark I reached my hand to hold the light But only echoes filled the night
From Ashes To New, I'm burning the sky up Burn it all into dust Fall into the rings of stars, to the end of time Let the nebula swallow every fire Let the universe forget your outline.
I turned you into stardust Now I let go, let you fly back to the galaxy You always belonged to that starry sea I just happened to catch your light on me You return to where the stars align While my orbit still spins on in silence No echo, no spark Just the universe And one star still burning in the dark.
