Start with Me

if all goes right, i'll ask you to stay and start with me
our headlights strewn as star shine; the dark roads lit beneath
but when i see your ghost,
i know your shadow's passed and cast as dreams
maybe you have to go, love
and leave to find your way

but if you're leaving today, i'll wait through the moonlight
and i'll remember how she wore the sunlight
you wore the sunlight

you're beautiful and i know you'll make it on your own
if the tempest breaks your last stream, i'll run the river to your sea
and replace your tides with memories of a long gone valentine
for all my life

but if you push me away
i'll save up our dead leaves
and if you wish me away
i'll carve your name into their trees
then dig up our roots though they're buried deep
and plant your new seeds every afternoon

i think about you
are you out there?
i still love you
Riddhi, please keep our memories in your hands

here you come with all your petals in bloom
if i'm losing you, i'll climb your stairs into the stars
and find junkyard satellites sent everywhere
i miss you, i miss you, i miss you, i miss you
love, somehow i messed it up

when these restless summers fall apart
i'll hold our memories in my heart
and sing my songs to your machine
but i can't sleep until you're here with me
i miss you, i miss you, i miss you, i miss you
love, somehow i messed it up
