Stars


Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same
.
.
I've been thinkin' maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast and maybe
All my luck's washed down the drain
.
.
I've been thinkin' 'bout everyone, everyone you look so lonely
But when I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars I see someone else
When I look at the stars, the stars I feel like myself
.
.
Stars looking at our planet,
Watching enthropy and pain
And maybe startin' to wonder
How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane
.
.
I've been thinkin' 'bout the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond our own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Began to look like home
.
.
I've been thinkin' 'bout everyone, everyone you look so empty
But when I look at the stars,
When I look at the stars I see someone else
