lyrics

looking for insight
painted in starlight
I turn my gaze up to the sky but the glow from the city is too bright

the rain was insistent
like hammers and pistons
you’re telling the storm is over but I see clouds in the distance

waking at night fall
waiting for your call
could we be star-crossed
or is it just our fault

we’ve been ignoring half of the story
we were so damn confident that we looked past all of the warnings
we’re so out of focus
we don’t even notice
the world around us melts away like a field devoured by locusts

waking at night fall
waiting for your call
could we be star-crossed
or is it just our fault

and I keep dreaming
you were the only one
and I’m still breathing
you were the only one

No leaves on the branches
just cinders and ashes
we’re ready to try once more but we won’t get two second chances
my eyes are still aching
but dark clouds are breaking
we don’t have much of a shot
but it’s the only one worth taking
