Holding my breath
Last one I've got left
I see you
Deliver my heart with the
Pieces and parts of me - that
Every last day seemed to carry away
A life time
Watch from the ground
As the gold fluttered down from the sky
Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
'Til you come in and out
Of you
Of you
Inches away from you
Scared what I'll take from you, darling
I can live with your ghost
If you say that's the most that I'll get
Darkness to light
Moved from day into night to be near you
Still here I stand
I am sinking like sand in your sea
Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
'Til you come in and out
Of you
You already do
Never you mind where the evening should find us
Together
Distance can't take what is hidden here
Safe in my chest
I'll wait for the day when
We finally say now or never
'Til then I'll be here wanting more
As I settle for atmosphere
Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
'Til you come in and out
Of you
Of you
Last one I've got left
I see you
Deliver my heart with the
Pieces and parts of me - that
Every last day seemed to carry away
A life time
Watch from the ground
As the gold fluttered down from the sky
Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
'Til you come in and out
Of you
Of you
Inches away from you
Scared what I'll take from you, darling
I can live with your ghost
If you say that's the most that I'll get
Darkness to light
Moved from day into night to be near you
Still here I stand
I am sinking like sand in your sea
Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
'Til you come in and out
Of you
You already do
Never you mind where the evening should find us
Together
Distance can't take what is hidden here
Safe in my chest
I'll wait for the day when
We finally say now or never
'Til then I'll be here wanting more
As I settle for atmosphere
Sweet sun
Send me the moon
Empty the skies out
Bringing me one step closer to you
Send it soon
And I will breathe in, breathe out
'Til you come in and out
Of you
Of you

One more thing I would like to add- Sara mentioned in an interview that this song was written for the movie "Dear John," but was never used (no idea why since it's amazing!).
In the movie, the moon is a constant reminder to the two main characters of each other, which is really ties this whole song together with the chorus quite beautifully. Just thought it was interesting and wanted to share :)
