Take Me To The Stars
  There was a time when we were close
  Best friends, it seemed
  
  But then something happened
  And I don’t know for sure what it was
  
  I’m too scared to ask
  Too scared to know
  
  I can’t open that book
  For the first time in my life
  
  I see you all around me
  Is it just my mind?
  
  I’m lying on a mountain
  Covered by the crisp leaves of trees
  
  Up above me is mist
  Down below me is fog
  
  Where do I go?
  For now I’m lost up here
  
  Alone
  How I like it
  
  But alone isn’t the same as lonely
  Goodbye isn’t the same as gone
  
  When you left me up here all alone
  All I could think was why
  
  Finally told some of the wiser trees
  They told me to leave you be
  
  But something lingers in my mind
  A wisp of a memory
  
  And the stars,
  The stars twinkle above me
  
  I remember your words
  But I don’t really know you
  
  I knew your mind,
  I knew your thoughts
  
  I once thought I knew your heart
  
  I’m telling you now
  Because I might change my mind
  
  I’m giving you one more chance
  To take me from this mountaintop
  
  And take me to the stars
