The Starlings: Music & Lyrics

My true self said to me one day
Why don’t you let me shelter you?
I’ve been wondering about you every day and every night
While you run around playing somebody’s fool
And when it’s time to rest your head, and when you finally close your eyes
You expect me, like an angel, to rise

Oh my, what a mess
You put me through in my mind
I barely passed the test this time

You are about to make a big mistake
And I know you, I know you know I’m here
I don’t have to be so far away, I could be the sunshine in your eyes
But you buried me deep down inside
And late at night, you shoot me over the moon
When you come back home, it’ll never be too soon

Oh my, what a mess
You put me through in my mind
I barely passed the test this time

And when you finally rest your head, you shoot me straight through the skies
And you expect me, like an angel, to rise

Oh my, what a mess
You put me through in my mind
I barely passed the test this time

My true self said to me one day
Why don’t you let me shelter you?
