Intro
D
[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
Gm 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
Gm 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
Gm 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
E A D
It all runs together, as if by design
[Bridge]
G#m
Every day getting a little
G
More acquainted with the riddles
A Em A
Until I'm looking for them everywhere I go
