Intro
F#
[Verse 1]
F#
The stars were just the holes punched in the shoebox
C#
That gives the creature all the air he needs to breathe
As if every constellation was just a form of inhalation
Bm F#
From a captor too enormous to conceive
[Verse 2]
F#
The moon beamed like a coach from junior high school
C#
When players hacked their way through each opposing team
And the brighter it was shining, felt like the wider he was smiling
Bm F#
On a season that he loved too much to leave
[Chorus]
F# C#
When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much
F#
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush
B
And in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned
C# F#
It all runs together, as if by design
[Verse 3]
The boat out in the middle of the ocean
C#
Is like the butterfly just breathing on the sea
Giving all of its attention to this new and strange reflection
Bm F#
Not recognized as what it used to be
[Chorus]
F# C#
When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much
F#
Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush
B
When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned
G# C# F#
It all runs together, as if by design
[Bridge]
Cm
Every day getting a little
B
More acquainted with the riddles
C# G#m C#
Until I'm looking for them everywhere I go
