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

C#
When you stare off in the night sometimes you see a little too much

Sometimes there's a world behind the mirror, sometimes a razor and a toothbrush

It all runs together, as if by design
