[Verse 1] Late gate One-way ticket Plastic cup Paper moon You trace our names In the fog of the window Last call Quiet runway Tiny towns Scattered jewels You say “Look up” Like it’s something you invented [Chorus] This is our starlight overture Every breath a counting-down You and I On the edge of first Hearts rehearsing every sound If the night writes a song for us Let it start right here Right now This is our starlight overture Play it till the lights burn out [Verse 2] Cheap seats Velvet ceiling Orion framed by glass You fall asleep With your hand on my jacket Soft hum Silver darkness Time zones drift and pass I keep my eyes On the sky like a promise [Chorus] This is our starlight overture Every breath a counting-down You and I On the edge of first Hearts rehearsing every sound If the night writes a song for us Let it start right here Right now This is our starlight overture Play it till the lights burn out [Bridge] Maybe we miss our stop (so what) Maybe the dawn runs late I only know this hush Feels like the world backstage [Chorus] This is our starlight overture Every breath a counting-down You and I On the edge of first Hearts rehearsing every sound If the tide turns and pulls us apart I will still remember how We began in a starlight overture Playing till the lights burned out
