lyrics

Verse 1:
from my childhood bed, they hung overhead
constellations from a pack
stuck to the sky, the adhesive had dried
didn’t realize i’d get so attached

Verse 2:
pleiades fell from the ceiling today,
i guess the glue finally wore down.
stick on stars watched from their plastic array
and everyone said to rush to come back into town

Chorus:
I’m driving through states,
talking my way back home
I’ll take up her place,
so the stars don’t feel so alone.

Verse 3:
sirius watched from his place in the sky,
and i asked him if he understood
the science behind, all the trials they tried,
And he told me the odds were still good.
And if i could come home, then i should

Chorus:
I’m driving/wandering through states,
talking my way back home
I’ll take up her place,
so the stars don’t feel so alone.

Bridge: (IV, vi, I, v?)
Back in my college town, counting the hours up,
overreact to how the hospital coffee sucks
i take the afternoons, I’ve never seen him cry
Sirius is holding up Pleiades in the sky

Chorus:
I’m driving through states,
talking my way back home
I’ll take up her place,
so the stars don’t feel so alone.

OUTRO:
When a star finally falls there’s no way to prepare
she still smiles the same, as she’s losing her hair
It’s Sirius who is now vaguely aware.
That there’s nothing to see without Pleiades there.
