If I was air, I'd hold your breath inside my palm,
Run far, far away into the sunlight and be gone.
And be gone...
If I was air, I'd leap into the snow,
Let the white take me away into oceans I don't know.
Moving slow...
Darling it ain't easy for us to say goodbye,
But I know someday if it all works out,
Then you and I will be on the ground saying,
Hey, look at the stars... Look at the stars.
If I was air, I'd stay in love and rust away,
Like a barn in a field saying "I love you" every day.
Rust away...
Take my words and string them on a tree,
Like a banner waving in the wind.
Let my essence linger in the air,
Like a tattoo on the pale mind of your skin.
Needles and pins...
Darling it ain't easy for us to say good-bye.
But I know, I know, I know that someday it'll all be fine.
Just look at the stars. Look at the stars.
