SAME STARS

[Verse 1]

It's morning here.

That pale blue hour
when the fields are still asleep
and the last stars
refuse to leave.

You're somewhere
on the other side of night.

Dreaming.

I know the miles.
I've seen the numbers.

They don't help.

Sometimes I wonder
if distance is just another word
we invented

for wanting something
we can't touch.

[Pre-Chorus]

Do you ever
look up at the stars?

I do.

Sometimes I wonder
if the last ones I see

are the first ones
that find you.

[Chorus]

Same stars.
Different night.

Mine are fading
while yours are waiting
on the other side.

And somewhere
between your darkness
and my light

there's a place
where you and I
almost exist.

Same stars.

Different night.

[Verse 2]

I know your voice
through wires and satellites.

The little pause
before you laugh.

The way one more minute
becomes an hour

when neither of us
wants to say goodnight.

Sometimes
you feel so close

I forget
what close means.

Then the morning comes

and puts the whole world
back between us.

[Pre-Chorus]

Do you ever
look up at the stars?

I do.

And wonder
if somewhere beneath them

you're thinking
of me too.

[Chorus]

Same stars.
Different night.

Mine are fading
while yours are waiting
on the other side.

And somewhere
between your darkness
and my light

there's a place
where you and I
almost exist.

Same stars.

Different night.

[Bridge]

I know
I'll never take you in my arms.

Never taste
the salt upon your skin.

Never feel your heart
trembling against mine.

I'll never hear
your breath against my ear.

But God...

some nights
I swear you're here.

Your fingertips
along my spine.

Your breath.
Your skin.

Every nerve
in my body
knows you.

Babe...

I feel you.

[Final Chorus]

Same stars.
Different night.

Mine are gone now.

Maybe yours
are burning bright.

So if you ever
look up
and think of me...

know I stood beneath them
hours ago

thinking of you.

[Outro]

Maybe that's
as close as we get.

The same light
at different times.

Same stars.

Different life.

One of a kind.

God...

you are nothing
but an angel.

[Male vocal ends completely]

[Long silence]

[Female voice ONLY here - spoken whisper, not sung, intimate and distant]

Skies clear...

[Pause]

Hearts do too.

[End]
