[Verse 1]
You left me in the driveway
Keys cold in my hand
Sky heavy like a curtain
I could barely stand
Every word we didn’t say
Hung thick in the air
Thought the night was just a graveyard
For every little prayer
[Chorus]
But without the dark
We’d never see the stars
Broken glass shining in the yard
Turning into art
All these little scars
Point the way to where you are
Without the dark
We’d never see the stars
(see the stars, see the stars)
[Verse 2]
I walked back through the kitchen
Coffee on the stove
Our picture on the fridge door
Tilted like it knows
Streetlight on the window blind
Cut lines across my face
I could feel the world keep turning
Right here in this place
[Chorus]
‘Cause without the dark
We’d never see the stars
Minutes fall
Scattering far
Glowing in the heart
All these little scars
Mark the map of who we are
Without the dark
We’d never see the stars
(see the stars, see the stars)
[Bridge]
So let it fade
Let it fade
Every bright
Impatient day
In the silence
In the slow
Something gentle starts to glow
If we lose
If we fall
If we’re staring at the wall
Close your eyes
Count to four
There’s a whole new sky in the floor
[Chorus]
Without the dark
We’d never see the stars
Every goodbye
Every hard part
Pulling us apart
All these little scars
Draw a line from here to far
Without the dark
We’d never see the stars
(see the stars, see the stars)
[Chorus]
Without the dark
We’d never see the stars
I can feel you in my arms
Even when we’re far
All these little scars
Beat in time with tired hearts
Without the dark
We’d never see the stars
(see the stars, see the stars)
