Verse 1
[Direction: Conversational speak-sing, flat straight-tone, trailing breath]
I read a definition in a book today
Of a love that’s written in the Milky Way
We hold a love so deep, it pulls the tide
But the sky won't let me be by your side
They call us "star-crossed," a beautiful despair
To love someone completely who is never there
Chorus
[Direction: Smooth velvet tone, lazy rhythmic drag behind the beat, gentle sway]
Oh, the stars must be jealous of the way we glow
To place a million lightyears in the space below
We’re dancing on the edge of a midnight sky
Waving from a distance as the comets fly
Two souls attached, but pulled miles apart
To be doomed by the very stars that made our start
Verse 2
[Direction: Brittle straight-tone, crisp consonants, intimate near-whisper]
I stare out at the endless, open blue
And swear I catch a fading silhouette of you
A quiet hum beneath the cosmic noise
The faint, familiar echo of your voice
We stand like statues carved in silver light
Chasing a reality out of sight
Chorus
[Direction: Smooth velvet tone, lazy rhythmic drag behind the beat, gentle sway]
Oh, the stars must be jealous of the way we glow
To place a million lightyears in the space below
We’re dancing on the edge of a midnight sky
Waving from a distance as the comets fly
Two souls attached, but pulled miles apart
To be doomed by the very stars that made our start
Bridge
[Direction: Warm connected tone, swelling volume, heavy emotional drop on endings]
Perhaps the constellations have a shifting plan
To let me hold your hand as long as lovers can
But the night is far too wide, the distance far too vast
A beautiful beginning that was never meant to last
Outro
[Direction: Fading pitch-whisper, exhausted delivery, long final pause]
I guess the sky was right all along
To turn our little romance into a tragic song
I’ll keep on looking up, hoping that you do too
Still hopelessly star-crossed... forever loving you
Takara
