Starlight Flicker

[Verse 1]
Head up
Rooftop
Breath hangs
Cold shock
City hum goes soft
Then the sky just pops
Little white sparks
Falling through the dark
Every wish I’ve got
Racing at the speed of your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
They blink on / off
Like a broken sign
I fade / back in
Every time you smile
Are they calling us up?
Or just watching us try?
[Chorus]
Starlight flicker
Turn me on then off again
Every little pulse of you under my skin
We’re crashing into colors that I can’t explain
Up here
Up here
We’re our own constellations (oh)
Starlight flicker
I don’t wanna touch the ground
Every echo of your name just spins around
If this is falling
Let me keep on falling now
Up here
Up here
Where the stars don’t ever drown
[Verse 2]
Your hand
My sleeve
Static when you breathe
Laughing on the edge
Of something we both need
Words fade
Slow blur
Only shapes and slurs
But your eyes stay sharp
Cutting through the swirl of the world
[Pre-Chorus]
We drift / drift wide
Over quiet streets
Then snap / back tight
When our fingers meet
Are we burning too fast?
Or finally feeling free?
[Chorus]
Starlight flicker
Turn me on then off again
Every little pulse of you under my skin
We’re crashing into colors that I can’t explain
Up here
Up here
We’re our own constellations (hey)
Starlight flicker
I don’t wanna touch the ground
Every echo of your name just spins around
If this is falling
Let me keep on falling now
Up here
Up here
Where the stars don’t ever drown
[Bridge]
Spin with me
Don’t slow
Let the quiet glow
Fill the spaces we
Never let them know
One breath
One spark
One leap through the dark
If I disappear
Meet me where the bright things are
[Chorus]
Starlight flicker
Turn me on then off again
Every little pulse of you under my skin
We’re crashing into colors that I can’t explain
Up here
Up here
We’re our own constellations (oh yeah)
Starlight flicker
I don’t wanna touch the ground
Every echo of your name just spins around
If this is falling
Let me keep on falling now
Up here
Up here
Where the stars don’t ever drown

Shimmering electro-pop with male vocals; airy pads and soft tape echo wash the background while a bright electric piano stabs in and out like constellations blinking. Snappy electronic drums and pulsing synth bass keep it upbeat; pre-chorus strips to vocal and distant echoes, then the chorus explodes with wide stereo harmonies and glittering arps. Subtle reverb tails and filtered delays create an ethereal, floating rush from start to finish., soft, exciting, vocal, electric
