Falling Through Starlight

We were kids on a dead-end road

Talking big like we knew it all

You said

"Promise me you won’t let go"

Now your jacket’s hanging on my wall

Every memory runs in color

Every second hits at once

All the things we never covered

Hit me harder when it’s us

I keep falling through starlight

Every time I hear your name

All these pieces of our life

Spin like sparks inside the flames

Are you out there in the dark sky?

Do you feel it just the same?

I keep falling

I keep falling

Through starlight

Through your name

[Huge melodic lead answers the chorus hook

Chopped vocal echoes “falling

Falling

Starlight”]

All my friends say I’ll be alright

Change the city

Change my phone

But your ghost in the bathroom light

Turns this crowded room to stone

Every memory runs in color

Every second hits at once

All the words we never uttered

Crash like thunder in my lungs

I keep falling through starlight

Every time I hear your name

All these pieces of our life

Spin like sparks inside the flames

Are you out there in the dark sky?

Do you feel it just the same?

I keep falling

I keep falling

Through starlight

Through your name

[Lead synth reprises hook an octave higher

Crowd-chant “oh-oh-oh” mirrors the falling motif]
