[Intro] [Soft synth pad. Distant traffic. Warm vinyl texture. A faint summer breeze.] **Female** Oh-oh... Everybody becomes a memory someday... [Verse 1 - Male] Stopped at the corner store past midnight Blue raspberry and cherry red You were wearing my old hoodie Half asleep against the headrest Parking lot beneath the streetlights Summer hanging in the air We bought junk food like teenagers Without a single place to be You pointed up beyond the rooftops Said that star looked just like June Then you laughed and named another... After someone we both knew [Pre-Chorus] Everybody keeps on moving Everybody drifts apart But somehow all those little pieces... Still live inside your heart [Chorus - Female] Corner store constellations Names written in the sky Old friends and old lovers Still shining somewhere tonight Corner store constellations Tiny lights we leave behind Everybody turns to memories... But memories never really die Oh-oh... Maybe heaven looks like this [Verse 2 - Male] Cars were passing in the distance Moths dancing beneath the glow You were tracing shapes with your finger Like a child who still believed You named one after your grandmother One for summers long gone by One for everybody missing... One for people still alive [Pre-Chorus - Female] Maybe we're all just stories Passing briefly through the dark Leaving little bits of starlight... Inside each other's hearts [Chorus - Together] Corner store constellations Blue and purple summer skies Every person that we've loved... Still reflected in our eyes Corner store constellations Nothing golden ever stays But somewhere in the midnight heavens... Every moment still remains [Bridge] **Male** One day someone else will sit here Beneath these same familiar stars **Female** Maybe they'll remember someone Maybe they'll wonder who we are **Together** Maybe that's the secret meaning Maybe that's the reason why Everybody leaves a little light... Burning softly in the night [Final Chorus - Female Lead / Male Harmony] Corner store constellations Tiny diamonds overhead Every laugh and every heartbreak Living somewhere when we're gone Corner store constellations Blue slushie kisses in July For a little while forever... You and I still light the sky Oh-oh... Everybody becomes a memory someday... [Outro] [Soft synths swell. Distant summer insects.] **Female (softly)** Look... there's another one. **Male** Who should we name it after?
