lyrics: |
  We watched the meteor shower
  Rain down
  It cutting through the sky
  Confused whether or not
  That one was just a firefly
  I brush a mosquito off of your shoulder
  As one bites my thigh
  You tell me make a wish
  I spend it on you every time

  We paddled out over the
  Leopard sharks that swam right underneath
  Water so clear that you
  Reached down, pretend to take a drink
  Dandelion picking on the shore
  You tell me that this wish is mine
  I spend it on ya
  I spend it on you every time

  You're worthy of finding happiness
  I know you sometimes doubt that
  Don't believe it
  You're worthy of finding love
  But only if you believe that
  Then you'll find it
  It's possible, yeah, it's possible

  Ladybug landing on your wrist
  An eyelash on my thumb
  I wish for many more wishes
  So that you'll stick around for them

  You're worthy of finding happiness
  I know you sometimes doubt that
  Don't believe it
  You're worthy of finding love
  But only if you believe that
  Then you'll find it
  It's possible
  Yeah, it's possible
  It's possible
  It's possible
  Yeah, it's possible

Track seven on [*Moonlight Beach*](/albums/moonlight-beach/), **cowritten with [Jamie Drake](/with/jamie-drake/)** (feat. on the LP). Drake's debut *Everything's Fine* landed NPR, PopMatters, and Flood praise; this is the collaborator-record moment on a beach LP built for hanging out. See also the [**New Girl** remix](/songs/new-girl-scoobert-doobert-remix/) on the same thread.

A night at the shore counted out in small creatures: meteor or firefly, leopard sharks under the paddleboard, a ladybug on the wrist. Every wish goes the same place: *I spend it on you every time*. The bridge says it plain, *you're worthy of finding happiness*, with the catch that you have to believe it first, and the last line turns devotion into a small con: *I wish for many more wishes / so that you'll stick around for them.*

Less joke-forward than much of the catalog, closer to [*it gets better*](/songs/it-gets-better/) but rooted in place. One of the tracks that makes *Moonlight Beach* a collaborator record, not only a solo mythology dump.
