[Verse 1]
I kept a paper map beneath the kitchen glass
Marked every place we promised we would pass
You held the coffee while I named the towns
I chased the far horizon, you were sitting down
[Pre-Chorus]
By the time I learned the names of every star
I had forgotten where your two hands are
[Chorus]
I lose the moon in me while counting the stars
Measure the distance, then miss where you are
I built a whole heaven from pieces of blue
And watched it grow wider between me and you
I lose the moon in me while counting the stars
[Verse 2]
Your coat is still hanging beside the front door
One sleeve turned inward like it was before
The kettle clicks off, the room settles flat
I read my old lists and don't know who wrote that
[Pre-Chorus]
All of my answers wore a polished disguise
None of them knew the color of your eyes
[Chorus]
I lose the moon in me while counting the stars
Measure the distance, then miss where you are
I built a whole heaven from pieces of blue
And watched it grow wider between me and you
I lose the moon in me while counting the stars
[Bridge]
If I could trade these miles for one ordinary night
Your shoulder by the window, the hallway light
No grand return, no promise carved in stone
Just say my name softly, and let me come home
[Final Chorus]
I lost the moon in me while counting the stars
Turned every wonder into somewhere too far
The sky can be endless, the night can be true
But nothing looks whole when it isn't with you
I lost the moon in me while counting the stars
I lost the moon in me while counting the stars
[Outro]
I fold up the map and leave the window wide
For the small missing light I kept trying to hide
