Lyrics

Stardust

[Verse 1]

You're vast like the ocean

Yet the voices in your head have got you

You don't really know how powerful you are

Always in motion

I smile to myself as I watch you

You don't need to win me over

I been yours

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't need to dress it up

No, no

Don't need to put on airs to make me care

You've got that golden touch

Oh, yeah

I mean, I know you're scared

But are you aware?

[Chorus]

You are made of stardust

The universe inside you, yeah

A straight-up miracle

It's so incredible

How you sometimes can forget

You're brilliant

Likе stardust

Luminous

[Verse 2]

I don't want perfection

You don't like it whеn I see right through you

Tell me what you're hidin'

I love you just the same, ayy

Love's made of lessons

Through all the hell and all the hallelujahs

You don't need to worry

I'm not playin' games

[Pre-Chorus]

You don't need to dress it up

No, no

Don't need to put on airs to make me care

You've got that golden touch

Oh, yeah

I mean, I know you're scared

But are you aware?

[Chorus]

You are made of stardust

The universe inside you, yeah

Every time that I

Look into your eyes

I can barely catch my breath

You're brilliant

Like stardust, ayy

Luminous

Like stardust, oh

Luminous

[Outro]

(We are made of stardust) Yeah, you and I

(The universe inside us) Oh, I see it in your eyes

(We are made of stardust) Ooh, you and I

(The universe inside us) Ooh

(We are made of stardust) Oh, you and I

The universe inside us, yeah

(We are made of stardust) I'm a miracle

You're a miracle

(The universe inside us) Yeah, yeah

(We are made of stardust)
