Starlight

Stars and love burn bright
Till they're ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky

You, oh, you had a sad urge
To be wanted by fools
Welcoming those that would be
Snoopin', troopin', enveloping your family jewels

You chose to grow your nose
'Cause deep down you knew I knew
You knew I knew that I'd up and run
Quicker than you could come
Said I was too good for you

Wake up little Susie
It’s bad news when you hear a guy cry
You spilled the beans in January
Timed it perfectly after your granny died (tut tut tut)

You knew I wouldn’t shoot a man when he was down
Well done Pinocchio you told a lie
I wouldn't take advantage of a cut-up heart
Such a vulnerable time

You tell me: I'm so lonely
Won’t you hold me?
Stars shine, only
But it's only
Light

Oh, old light, it’s been dead
For a long time
Long time, with time, time

Stars and love burn bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky

Now it's time to bury the hatchet and bury it deep
You've a massive heart
But you're a fucked up kid and we sow what we reap

Woah, 'cause we grew up as solitary souls
Sometimes it’s better to be on your own
I need time just to roam, roam, roam
Find a place I can call home

Love is like starlight
Even when a star dies
You can still see it shine
But it’s only old light

Oh, old light, it’s been dead
For a long time
Long time, long time

Stars and love burn bright
Till they’re ready to die
The broken spend their nights
Staring at the sky

If love enters your life
It leaves a stain inside the sky
And this will lead you to believe
That it is still alive

But it is just old light
Completing its last flight
Across a velvet nights
Stars burn bright till they die

Love bites in the sky
Love is like starlight
Love is starlight
