Comments by Jamie Bell: This song was more a writing exercise than anything, really. I tried to think of the most lonely thing known to man, and immediately thought the moon. I mean seriously, we went and visitted it for a tiny speck of its life and then left it high and dry. We're pretty crappy people, if you ask me.

So dark up here all alone
I've waited for so long
Come find me, there's nothing but black
You were here but you left me from behind my back

Night fades as I turn and sigh
Wonder if I ever cross your mind
It's been so long since you've been around here
So hard to see when the sky is so clear

This is all I've ever had
Questioning what it was that I did
Now I waste away this way
I wait and dread the day

Night leaves and as always, I am pushed aside
In your mind, but to you I died
Let me shatter, a fragile glass sphere
I can see from anywhere but here

I'm shining, so brightly
Silver lining, knit tightly
Stars aligning, so rightly
I'm pining for night
