In the beginning I was standing out in the yard
With my father pointing up at the stars
I asked, "Do you think there is life on Mars?
Is there love like ours?"
From here I see a light left on
In a house like mine and out in the lawn
There′s a man like you and a smaller one
I looked in the mirror, I have seen my son
Oh, I know of how the universe, it shows itself
It's always getting bigger at you
I was told that I'd grow up to be myself
I thought I would get bigger too
I would try to keep the moment
Like a photograph of the sunset
Like a little kid with a bug net
Like a dying man, I swear
You belong to me, you belong to me
If you belong to anyone then you belong to me
But I have no other place to keep you safe
But in my shaky, ever shaking melody
