Feel my makeshift heartbeat
Violet high beams in your eye
Be my alien boyfriend
Racing through the night
Send me constellations
Worn out duffle packin’ light
Lost in deep translation
Meet me in the sky -
Radio waves
Been scanning through all night
Sifting through haze
Looking for an outbound satelliteThirty days of hope, longingly I stare
Waiting for reply, but nothing’s there
‘Bout to leave the room when frequency divides the airFeel my makeshift heartbeat
Violet high beams in your eye
Be my alien boyfriend
Racing through the night
Send me constellations
Worn out duffle packin’ light
Lost in deep translation
Meet me in the skyCan’t get enough
Of your morse code outline
Calling your bluff
Begging me to come outsideSmoke and engine dust revving in the wind
Level down the thrust as you decend
Opening the door, oh my mind is cripplingFeel my makeshift heartbeat
Violet high beams in your eye
Be my alien boyfriend
Racing through the night
Send me constellations
Worn out duffle packin’ light
Lost in deep translation
Meet me in the skyWeightless footsteps
Holding our breath
I’m struck anyhow
Star-crossed, now here
Spanning light years
Just us, fading outFeel my makeshift heartbeat
Violet high beams in your eye
Be my alien boyfriend
Racing through the night
(Through the night)
Send me constellations
Worn out duffle packin’ light
(Packing light)
Lost in deep translation
Meet me in the sky
