“If I'm going to burn, it might as well be bright.”

“Might have been the moonlight,
Caught up in the sparkle in your eyes.
So wicked and I know I should go slow but it's not in me to wait.Cause I'm alive and I'm on fire.
Shot like a starburst into the sky.
And the fury of desire it burns so bright electrifies
You light me up, you take me higher.”

Sarah McLachlan (1968) Canadian musician, singer, and songwriter

I'm so tired of you, America.”
