lyrics

Yesterday
I was stronger
And the daylight
lasted so much longer
And the stars
were promises
left in the sky
And then you came and said
goodbye

My favorite Martian
My favorite girl
Visitor from a far, forgotten world
Why won’t you
why won’t you
why won’t you
why won’t you stay here?
I’m losing my way here
losing my way

I saw you
as a stanger here like me
Looking ‘round
for anything familiar
like me
And the stars
were promises
places to roam
A million worlds
but you
were home

My favorite Martian
My favorite girl
Visitor from a far, forgotten world
Why won’t you
why won’t you
why won’t you
why won’t you stay here?
I’m losing my way here
losing my way
