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
A#m 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
A#m 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
A#
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
A#m 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
A#
When in those fleeting moments when the stars all seem aligned
G C F
It all runs together, as if by design
[Bridge]

Every day getting a little

More acquainted with the riddles
C Gm C
Until I'm looking for them everywhere I go
