[Verse 1] Staring at the lone star From this crooked apartment window Pizza box on the table Your name on my phone Still unread [Pre-Chorus] City hum in the background But my head is too loud Tracing shapes in the drywall You’re the face in every cloud [Chorus] Staring at the lone star Like it’s got answers Like it remembers Who we were Staring at the lone star Till my eyes water Holding on longer Than we were [Verse 2] Your sweater on my chair Smells like August Cheap shampoo TV talking to itself Every punchline lands on you [Pre-Chorus] Every “maybe” turned to “later” Every “later” turned to “gone” I keep talking to the ceiling Like it’s gonna put you on [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] If I could call you right now Would I speak Or would I choke? [echo on “choke”] Would you laugh about the distance Or hang up before the joke? [crescendo] So I bargain with that lone star One more wish One more try But the only thing that’s moving Is the dark across the sky [Chorus]
