I will carry you and give you life
I will cover you and show you the way
It's a sequence that you never learned
It's a lesson I will never forget
I can hear you in the overtones
Just an echo of the promise we made
Change the future, we can travel time
Or make us blind so we can never look back
We can never look back
I'm the night-sky (ha, ha, ha)
I'm the fire in your eyes (ha, ha, ha)
And I want you (ha, ha, ha)
Now and for all time
I'm the cold heart (ha, ha, ha)
I'm the secret that you hide (ha, ha, ha)
I'll be listening until you decide
I communicate in simple strings (take your time)
I'm the only one who gave you the truth (speak to me)
Once you leave me you were really gone (far and near)
Give me something to remember you by (always be)
All that's here is what you left behind (majesty)
Slowly moving in the back of my mind (can't forget)
Take a moment to remember me (and our ways)
Make me blind so I don't ever look back
Only in your name
I will ne'er be free
I'm the night-sky (ha, ha, ha)
I'm the fire in your eyes (ha, ha, ha)
And I want you (ha, ha, ha)
Now and for all time
I'm the cold heart (ha, ha, ha)
I'm the secret that you hide (ha, ha, ha)
I'll be listening until you decide
I'm the night-sky (ha, ha, ha)
I'm the fire in your eyes (ha, ha, ha)
And I want you (ha, ha, ha)
Now and for all time
I'm the cold heart (ha, ha, ha)
I'm the secret that you hide (ha, ha, ha)
I'll be listening until you decide
I will cover you and show you the way
It's a sequence that you never learned
It's a lesson I will never forget
I can hear you in the overtones
Just an echo of the promise we made
Change the future, we can travel time
Or make us blind so we can never look back
We can never look back
I'm the night-sky (ha, ha, ha)
I'm the fire in your eyes (ha, ha, ha)
And I want you (ha, ha, ha)
Now and for all time
I'm the cold heart (ha, ha, ha)
I'm the secret that you hide (ha, ha, ha)
I'll be listening until you decide
I communicate in simple strings (take your time)

Now and for all time
I'm the cold heart (ha, ha, ha)
I'm the secret that you hide (ha, ha, ha)
I'll be listening until you decide

It's the imprint of the persons early experiences/childhood haunting them. It's their true identity calling, but distorted in some way. It calls to the adult to come collect what was left behind and repair it. The middle chorus is an argument (alternating lines) between the child left behind and the adult saying they never forgot. Neither perspective is resolved. One must move forward, the other looks back, both has benefits and neither has the answer. The final verses describe the appearance of the individual without resolution to this arrangement.
