Lyrics

Starlight

All the stardust in you
Has been there before time
And when I get to see you
The glow slips in my mind

That's how I float
When you're near earth slows
And I get a feeling like
I'm coming up from underwater

'Cause it's starlight whenever you're around me
Starlight whenever we hang out
Starlight, a hundred sparks surround me
Starlight, I wanna slow it down but I can't, no

All the windows open
A breeze comes through the room
And carries me out gently
Up towards the moon

That's how I float
When you're near earth slows
And I get a feeling like
I'm coming up from underwater

'Cause it's starlight whenever you're around me
Starlight whenever we hang out
Starlight, a hundred sparks surround me
Starlight, I wanna slow it down but I can't

'Cause it's starlight whenever you're around me
Starlight whenever we hang out
Starlight, a hundred sparks surround me
Starlight, I wanna slow it down but I can't
