I had hidden every fragile thing behind ideas and careful grace Then you walked in talking too fast with galaxies all over your face You called my sadness beautiful I called your chaos light Neither one of us was stable but God, we felt alive You opened all the locked rooms turned the hallways gold Made me want tomorrow when I'd already gone cold And I gave you somewhere gentle when your fire burned too far You said I felt like coming home I said you felt like stars Ohhh… Like stars Like stars You listened like a midnight church like every word could matter still Most people only loved the version I performed to keep my thrill But you saw the tired animal underneath the neon grin And every time I tried to run you loved me back again You held my contradictions like they were sacred things And suddenly the future didn't terrify me You opened all the locked rooms turned the hallways gold Made me want tomorrow when I'd already gone cold And I gave you somewhere gentle when your fire burned too far You said I felt like coming home I said you felt like stars Maybe soulmates aren't forever Maybe they're a change in weather A storm that teaches frightened houses how to let the windows open You were freedom without leaving I was safety without chains Two beautiful catastrophes dancing barefoot in the rain You opened all the locked rooms I set the curtains free You taught my heart to land somewhere I taught yours to leave gently And somewhere in another lifetime we're still nineteen in the rain Talking like the universe invented us by mistake Like stars… Like home… Like finally being known…
