As If By Design

[Verse 1] The stars were just the holes punched in the shoebox That gives the creature all the air he needs to breathe As if every constellation was just a form of inhalation From a captor too enormous to conceive [Verse 2] The moon beamed like a coach from junior high school When players hacked their way through each opposing team And the brighter it was shining, felt like the wider he was smiling On a season that he loved too much to leave [Chorus] When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush And in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned It all runs together, as if by design [Verse 3] The boat out in the middle of the ocean Is like the butterfly just breathing on the sea Giving all of its attention to this new and strange reflection Not recognized as what it used to be [Chorus] When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned It all runs together, as if by design [Bridge] Every day getting a little More aquainted with the riddles Until I'm looking for them everywhere I go [Chorus] When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush And in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned It all runs together, as if by design As if by design As if by design
