Stars, False, Fading - Tiny Ruins

You and I wondered, you and I chose

Stars and drones over UFOs

He comes in troubled, he says

Hello, can you get my books

From the basement store?

He’s been scanning the heavens

For those flashes and specks

Now I’m prowling the aisles

I’ve got my real hard facts

What on earth matters as the darkness grows

Look and see the stars, false, fading

What on earth matters as the darkness grows

Here’s hoping I never drift away from you

Headlights shimmering on the rainy supreme

Kids all lost in backseat dreams

I keep my eyes open to count the hanging gleams

Could they take us out of here in those flying machines?

There was a yearning in my faraway chaser

For me to unlearn my jaded behaviour

To feel the roar in the beam of a stranger

But I just sigh in the lift

Down to the basement store

What on earth matters as the darkness grows

Look and see the stars, false, fading

What on earth matters as the darkness grows

Here’s hoping I never drift away from you
