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

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