The Night the Stars Went Missing

Verse 1

Streets went quiet around midnight

Every window opened wide

People stood in coats and slippers

Staring at an empty tide

Verse 2

Somebody swore the map was wrong

Somebody blamed the towers downtown

I counted rooftops one by one

And found no answer looking down

Pre-Chorus

We asked the sky a simple thing

We asked and nothing answered back

Chorus

Where did you go

Where did you go

The whole city's out here searching slow

We built our lives beneath your light

Now we're standing in the night

Where did you go

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Verse 3

My father held his old telescope

Like a memory he couldn't name

Neighbors traded quiet theories

Everyone afraid to say the same

Pre-Chorus

We asked the dark a harder thing

We asked and nothing answered back

Chorus

Where did you go

Where did you go

The whole city's out here searching slow

We built our lives beneath your light

Now we're standing in the night

Where did you go

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Instrumental Bridge

Chorus

Where did you go

Where did you go

I don't need a reason I just need to know

We wrote our names against your flame

Now the sky forgets our name

Where did you go

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh
