Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Picked up a ride in a flash of light
Thought it was thunder, turned out it was flight
One wrong turn through a silver gate
Next thing I know, I'm three worlds late
Shook hands with folks made of smoke and stone
Danced on a moon that was not my own
Every sky different, every road strange
But I kept drifting, chasing some change
[Chorus]
Now I'm stuck between stars, but I'm stuck with you
On a little red farm ‘neath a turquoise moon
You ain't from Earth, but your laugh feels true
Got a ring on your hand in a field that’s blue
Guess I lost my way, but I found my heart
Took a long way ‘round through the dark
Now I'm stuck between stars, but I'm stuck with you
And I don't want out
I don't want out (no)
[Verse 2]
You were pouring drinks at a comet bar
Boots kicked up on a fallen star
You said, "Boy, you look a long way gone"
I said, "Yeah, but this place feels like home"
Met your kin at a glass-top pond
Your mama spoke waves, but she liked my songs
Built us a house on a floating plain
Raising kids that can ride time trains (hey!)
[Chorus]
Now I'm stuck between stars, but I'm stuck with you
On a little red farm ‘neath a turquoise moon
You ain't from Earth, but your smile feels true
Got a ring on your hand in a field that’s blue
Guess I lost my way, but I found my heart
Took a long way ‘round through the dark
Now I'm stuck between stars, but I'm stuck with you
And I don't want out
I don't want out
[Bridge]
Yeah, I tried going back through that swirling sky
But every doorway felt too dry
Home ain't dirt, it ain't just one town
It's where you’re there when the sun goes down
[Chorus]
So I'm stuck between stars, but I'm stuck with you
Kids in the yard and a twin-sun view
You ain't from Earth, but my soul just knew
Every lifetime was leading to you
Guess I lost my way, but I found my heart
Hung my hat in your arms at last
Now I'm stuck between stars, but I'm stuck with you
And it's happily after
Happily after, too
