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