I walked out of the dark, looked up at the sky
A single point of light, cut through the night so high
You stepped out in lunar white, into my view
Like a spark from the deep ice, burning true
You lit up the whole dome, the endless blue
But I couldn't reach you, no matter how I tried
The orbit spun me round, with nowhere to hide
Watching you fade away, bit by bit, piece by piece
Like stardust crushed and scattered, never to cease
Blown away by the breeze
If I turn into a shooting star tonight
Would you look up and catch my final light?
That burning, falling trace across the black
Is the goodbye I never said, fading back
You light me up, then you're gone
Like stardust crashing into stone
Leaving just a spark
Then swallowed by the endless dark
I reach out to catch
But only echoes answer back
I have found stars in the sky
Jupiter and Venus, burning high
One for the light, one for the dark
Thousands of stars, thousands of none
Like you, like me
One's a wildfire, one's a silent sea
A whole galaxy between you and I
Never truly crossed, never aligned
I should've known from the start
A light-year is a bridge too far
But I still choose to burn, to break apart
Even if I crash right in your orbit
Just for this one second
To let you see my light
Just for this one second
Before I fade into the night
You light me up, then you're gone
Like stardust crashing into stone
Leaving just a spark
Then swallowed by the endless dark
I reach out to catch
But only echoes answer back
From ashes to new, I'm burning the sky up
Burning it all, turning to dust
Falling through the rings, to the end of time
Let the nebula swallow every flame
Let the universe forget your name
Maybe one day, in another life
We'll be two stars in the same sky
If I never see your face again
Then good morning, good afternoon, good night
And every day that follows this
I hope you'll be alright
