Reading Stars

I been reading stars

Like they know something I don’t

Connecting every shine in light

Trying to make it mean us

You hit my phone when you need that ride

Need that favor, need somewhere tonight

And I swear your voice gets sweeter then

Like you know exactly where my head has been You get close I start seeing signs

Then you disappear when you’re doing fine

Maybe I’m dumb maybe you’re smart

Maybe I’ve been reading too much in the stars I took I really like you too straight to the heart, the late-night text felt like a brand new start but you never said you wanted me, barely said anything without wanting something even though you knew what I wanted at least it seemed to me

I keep reading stars

Connecting dots that might not be there

Every time I think they spell your name

You vanish in the air

You pull me close when you need something Then leave me wondering what we are Maybe you ain’t leading me nowhere

Maybe I’m just bad at reading stars

Need a little money, I’ll figure it out

Bad night need somebody, I’m coming around Need someone listening, I stay on the line just had to call me anytime but it’s only when your problems always make you mine I’m not trying to hate but I barely hear from you and it’s not right to lead me on till life gets heavy and your world gets hard

Then there you are underneath my stars

And I can’t even say you told me lies

You just gave me enough to keep hope alive

A little affection at the perfect time

And I filled in the blanks with a future in mind

I keep reading stars

Connecting dots that might not be there

Every time I think they spell your name

You vanish in the air

You pull me close when you need something Then leave me wondering what we are Maybe you ain’t leading me nowhere

Maybe I’m just bad at reading stars

Maybe the satellites ain’t pointing my way

Maybe the world has something shitty to say Maybe shooting stars are burning rocks

And I made a whole damn thought from dots Maybe come over just meant come over one time for you Maybe needing me is really what its meant to you but from a far

So next time your name lights up my phone

I’m gonna read what’s written and not have hope of you wanting me but using me instead. Like just say it don’t leave it to signs Don’t give me a moment and take all my time I still think of you when the night gets dark I just quit asking heaven where you are Some things look close when they’re really far Guess that’s the danger in reading stars

Maybe they never spelled your name

Maybe I just wanted them to

All those cute remarks

But none of the signs of you just wanting me I guess I really was reading stars.

I wasn’t reading you.
