Tiny Ruins Stars, False, Fading
[Verse 1]
You and I wondered, you and I chose
Stars and drones over UFOs
He comes in troubled, he says
Hello, can you get my books
From the basement store?
[Verse 2]
He's been scanning the heavens
For those flashes and specks
Now I'm prowling the aisles
I've got my real hard facts
[Chorus]
What on earth matters as the darkness grows
Look and see the stars, false, fading
What on earth matters as the darkness grows
Here's hoping I never drift away from you
[Verse 3]
Headlights shimmering on the rainy supreme
Kids all lost in backseat dreams
I keep my eyes open to count the hanging gleams
Could they take us out of here in those flying machines?
[Verse 4]
There was a yearning in my faraway chaser
For me to unlearn my jaded behaviour
To feel the roar in the beam of a stranger
But I just sigh in the lift
Down to the basement store
[Chorus]
What on earth matters as the darkness grows
Look and see the stars, false, fading
What on earth matters as the darkness grows
Here's hoping I never drift away from you
