Surface Stars

[Verse 1] You show up late to every sunrise Coffee cup That crooked smile Socks don’t match Your jacket’s wrinkled Been that way a while You laugh like you don’t deserve it This whole wide open sky “guess I got used to ceilings” You say And catch my eye [Chorus] You and me Under surface stars No more doors No more distant bars I’ll keep you close when the days feel strange We’ve both got scars But up here Hearts can change You and me Under surface stars [Verse 2] You burn the toast I crack a joke You hide your face I see you glow Recipes taped to the fridge door Handwriting soft and slow Kids are loud The porch light flickers You lean into my side “thought I was done with chances” I say But here we are outside [Chorus] You and me Under surface stars No more doors No more distant bars I’ll keep you close when the days feel strange We’ve both got scars But up here Hearts can change You and me Under surface stars [Bridge] We were bones and broken faith We were ashes Quiet rooms Now it’s take-out on the table Fresh cut flowers in full bloom [Chorus] You and me Under surface stars No more doors No more distant bars I’ll keep you close when the days feel strange We’ve both got scars But up here Hearts can change You and me Under surface stars You and me Under surface stars (mmm) You and me Just how we are
