Stars (Live)

We get in the train heading up to the top
You dream up stories of the homes on the hills
I smile at the music and I smile at you
For a moment in time I thought you felt it too

We look out at the city, expansive below
You guide my eyes through each piece of your heart
I feel your joy and I see you glow
And as the sun sets, down the hill we go

I let myself have hope that this was different
I let myself believe you were the one
I let myself feel as if the stars aligned across the sky that we looked out on together
Oh, but stars don't stay aligned forever

We get in the car and drive straight to the top
You lead me to the edge where you've been times before
I breathe in the moment, I still smile at you
For a moment in time I thought you felt it too

We look out at the city, expansive below
You guide my eyes through each piece of your heart
I feel your joy, but I finally know
That as the sun sets, down this hill I must go

I let myself have hope that this was different
I let myself believe you were the one
I let myself feel as if the stars aligned across the sky that we looked out on together
Oh, but stars don't stay aligned forever

We were temporary, I was forced to accept
Not even this city could light the darkness that I kept
Now more sunsets have passed and I can finally explain
That we were temporary, but so was the pain

I let myself have hope that this was different
I let myself believe you were the one
I let myself feel as if the stars aligned across the sky that we looked out on together
Oh, but stars don't stay aligned forever
It took a few breaths, but now I'm better
