Stargazing Alone

Blanket on the hood of your old car

You traced constellations on my arm

Whoa

That laugh

That crooked grin

Said

"Make a wish

Don’t tell me till it happens"

You named a star after my middle name

I rolled my eyes

But I kept the frame

We talked forever like the sky stood still

You said

"If we get lost

We’ll climb this hill"

Now I’m stargazing alone

Same hill

Same sky

Just a colder phone

I still talk like you’re here

Point out the shapes only we could hear

Every bright spark feels like a ghost

Of the one I loved the most

Yeah

I’m stargazing alone

But I keep making room for you

Saturday mornings

Coffee in your sleeves

Walking through the market

Pockets full of seeds

You’d buy plants we didn’t have space for

Said

"Someday we’ll need a bigger door"

Rain on the window

Movies half-watched

You’d pause at the good parts just to talk

We wrote our names in foggy glass

Swore that this season wouldn’t pass

Now I’m stargazing alone

Same hill

Same sky

Just a colder phone

I still talk like you’re here

Point out the shapes only we could hear

Every bright spark feels like a ghost

Of the one I loved the most

Yeah

I’m stargazing alone

But I keep making room for you

I still drive that crooked road [low vocal register]

Leave a second cup in case you show

I sit where you sat

Pull your sweater tight

Let the old dreams flicker in the night

If love is just a borrowed view

I’ll keep looking up for two

I’ll keep doing all the things we used to do

’Til the sky stops looking like you
