Intro

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