Down to the earth I fell
With dripping wings
Heavy things won't fly
And the sky might catch on fire
And burn the axis of the world
That's why
I prefer a sunless sky
To the glittering and stinging in my eyes

I feel so light
This is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Tonight and the rest of my life

Gleaming in the dark sea
I'm as light as air
Floating there breathlessly
When the dream dissolves I open up my eyes
I realize that
Everything is shoreless sea
Weightlessness is passing over me

I feel so light
This is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Tonight and the rest of my life

Everthing is waves and stars
The universe is resting in my arms

I feel so light
This is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life

I feel so light
This is all I want to feel tonight
I feel so light
Tonight and the rest of my life
Tonight and the rest of my life

    This song describes what my life was like before I met my (now ex) boyfriend. I had always felt like I had wings once and that they melted. I had always liked dark days, too. The chorus refers to the night I got my first kiss from my boyfriend.
