[Intro — lone, fragile violin] Before I knew your name, I knew how darkness felt. Then you sat beside the pieces And never asked me to be anything else. You didn't try to save me. You didn't turn away. You just stayed there in the silence... And somehow, I wanted you to stay. [Verse 1] You learned the little changes, The shadows in my eyes, The tiny shift inside my voice When "I'm okay" becomes a lie. When all the words get tangled And I don't know what to say, You never make me force them out— You just ask me, "What color today?" And somehow two small words Can quiet all the noise, Because you never speak for me... You remind me I have a voice. [Pre-Chorus] Maybe love was never meant To only be three words. Maybe love is being known When nothing can be heard. [Chorus] You are my constellation, My guiding star at night. When I forget which way is home, I find you in the sky. And if the dark comes calling, You don't have to make it light. Just sit here in the shadows— I'll sit beside you this time. Wrap your stars around my wings, I'll hold you where you are. Through every life, Through every world... I'll find your stars. [Verse 2] I love watching you create things You don't know are beautiful yet, Turning pieces of your beautiful brain Into things I can't forget. The songs you sing when I'm unraveling, The worlds you paint and write, That ridiculous excited goofball When something makes you come alive. And God, that fucking smile— Yeah, you know the one. Your eyes start smiling first Before your mouth has even begun. Then you dance like no one's watching, And I fall for you again. One little "boop" And there's that smile... Goddamn it. There I go again. [Pre-Chorus] I used to think that love was words, Promises people made. Then you asked me if I'd eaten And somehow love had changed. [Chorus] You are my constellation, My guiding star at night. When I forget which way is home, I find you in the sky. And if the dark comes calling, You don't have to make it light. Just hand me some of the pieces— I'll help you hold them tonight. Wrap your stars around my wings, I'll hold you where you are. Through every life, Through every world... I'll find your stars. [Bridge — music falls almost completely away] "Breathe, Littlebird." One word. And suddenly I'm here. Your voice becomes so gentle And the chaos disappears. You taught me I could sing Without getting every note just right. You gave my voice somewhere safe to land Until I learned that it was mine. So if your own voice ever tells you You're broken beyond repair, Give me some of what you're carrying. You don't have to hide it here. You sat beside me in my darkness. Now let me sit in yours. No fixing. No pretending. No apologies anymore. [Instrumental — emotional violin builds] [Verse 3] I want the ordinary with you, Not only grand designs. I want snuggles under blankets And your hand somewhere in mine. I want video calls replaced someday By waking up with you. I want eighty-year-old versions of us Still laughing like damn fools. Still making Rice Krispies jokes Nobody else understands, Still driving each other crazy, Still reaching for your hand. Under-caffeinated mornings, Hard conversations too— I don't need every day to be perfect. I just want Every kind of day With you. [Final Chorus — full cinematic violin] You are my constellation, My guiding star through time. And if we're given other lives, Come find these wings of mine. Different faces, different names, Another place, another time— I don't care how long it takes me. Somehow I'll know your light. Because one lifetime isn't enough For this Littlebird heart of mine. Through every life, Through every world... I'll find your stars. [Final Refrain — softer] I choose the artist. I choose the parent. I choose your beautiful mind. I choose your laughter. I choose your silence. I choose the darkness and the light. I choose the easy. I choose the messy. I choose the days we get it wrong. I choose our family. I choose you. And tomorrow... I'll choose you again. [Outro — violin and quiet vocal] Thirty-five years beneath these stars, And somehow our two paths aligned. So happy birthday, my constellation. Thank you For finding mine. Forever and always... To Valhalla and beyond. And if this universe begins again— Find my wings. I'll find your stars.
