Stardust on the Spine

[Intro]
[Verse]
Bell rings at four
You walk through the door
I’m sweeping the floor
But wanting much more
Your eyes find the shelf
I hide by myself
With a zine in your hand
From a far-off land
[Pre-Chorus]
My fingers start to twitch
I’m flipping a switch
I stutter a "Hi"
And look at the sky
Well, the ceiling at least
A nervous little beast
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a cosmic design
With stardust on the spine
In G major we play
To pass the rainy day
You buy the sci-fi poems
About neon-lit domes
And I’m just the clerk
Where the daydreams lurk
[Post-Chorus]
Bouncing along
To a lo-fi song
Bouncing along
Where we both belong
[Verse]
My mug has a stain
Like a map of the rain
My writing is tilted
The flowers have wilted
But you don’t seem to mind
You’re one of a kind
Tracing ink with your thumb
While my senses go numb
[Pre-Chorus]
I fumble the change
It feels so strange
To want to be bold
In a shop so old
I almost ask your name
It’s a beautiful game
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a cosmic design
With stardust on the spine
In G major we play
To pass the rainy day
You buy the sci-fi poems
About neon-lit domes
And I’m just the clerk
Where the daydreams lurk
[Bridge]
Let’s take a road trip
In a silver spaceship
To a fair by the sea
Just you and just me
Trading stapled-up dreams
In lo-fi color schemes
No more quiet awe
Without a single flaw
[Build-up]
Warbly and warm
Safe from the storm
Warbly and warm
Out of the norm
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a cosmic design
With stardust on the spine
In G major we play
To pass the rainy day
You buy the sci-fi poems
About neon-lit domes
And I’m just the clerk
Where the daydreams lurk
[Hook]
Sci-fi and tea
Maybe it’s me
Sci-fi and tea
Wait and you’ll see
[Break]
[Verse]
The rain streaks the glass
I watch the hours pass
Your signature’s messy
I’m feeling quite guessy
About where you might go
When the streetlights all glow
Back to your star
Wherever you are
[Outro]
