For Myself

Never wanted the moon for myself,
I couldn’t pull it down.
Where would I keep it?
How could I sleep at night with all that glow around?

Never wanted the sea for myself,
I couldn’t swim it.
And all those dead and dying fish
I’d be responsible for -
I couldn’t stomach it. I couldn’t stomach it.

Never wanted the sky for myself,
I couldn’t hold it.
All those clouds would start to shift
And I’d find myself adrift -
I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t live like that.

But I want you
For myself.
I want you for myself.
