Sara B. is amazing, but this is possibly one of my favorites from her. There is something about it that is addicting and almost haunting, and leaves you a little breathless. It's one of those songs I've kept on repeat for hours. I think part of this is because I can relate to every single line in this song, so it tugs at my heart strings in ways many other songs can't. I think that fact that she uses the metaphor of nature, the sun, the moon, the sky, makes it painstakingly beautiful. The first line of this song reminds me of another one of my favorites out there..."I have been holding my breath, for too many nights in a row. And somewhere on coastlines unknown to me you paint your dreams, in reds and blues and greens." I'm so glad Sara B. decided to release this song, even if it wasn't on Kaleidescope Heart.
Also, given that I've listened to this song over 200 times, I have some lyric corrections (with *):
Holding my breath
Last one I've got left 'til*
I see you
Deliver my heart with the
Pieces and parts of me left
Every last day seemed to carry the weight
of a lifetime
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 view
Of view
Inches away from you
Scared what I'll take from you, dark*
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 view*
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
I will breathe in, breathe out
'til you come in
I will breathe in, breathe out
'til you come in and out
Of view
Of view
I'm so disapointed...grooveshark no longer has this beautiful song availiable :( What I also love about this song is that some words can be heard differently. Atmosphere = at most fear, and just to be near you darling sounds like just to be near you dark. Anywho, lovely interpretation!

"Of view" makes literal sense, especially with the temporality of the moon. But "of you" can work if "come in" is its own sentence as in "come in to my space." "Come out of you" can be if she is referring to the moon as messenger of the sun. This way, she can gain "one step closer to [it]" (because moon can be stared at, sun can't be.. unless she's into one day relationships). Plus, the 'I' that is her cannot be too involved if the 'you' refuses to leave '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 :)
