The Weather Station - Stars lyrics

Artist: The Weather Station

album: How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars


How is it that I should look at the stars?

Drove out in the desert in a rental car

And I climb up on the roof and lie in wait
For my eyes to adjust for some peaceful state
When I was a child, my mother'd send me outside

On a moonless night to see the light
Cast out in some ancient storm
With a woolen blanket to keep me warm

So overwhelmed by the beauty of the sky
How could I not be?

But how should I look at the stars tonight?
At a million suns? None of them mine

Nowhere up there is a place like this
Not one waterfall, no river mist
I felt dizzy, my chest clenched cold and tight
It'll be 2020 tomorrow night
From Salton City, I hear fireworks go off
As though they're celebrating all another year has cost
Or is it carelessness?
Send another star into the sky
Only to watch it die
Fall across the black in a shining arc
I swear to God, this world will break my heart
