Billion Years Ago #Bass Battle

Instrumental Intro

Drop

Stars stars stars

Stars stars stars

Verse

I count them from the roof at two a m

My brother says they died a billion years ago

So nothing I can see is really there

Still I keep my neck craned back

Pre-Chorus

If they burned out long before I looked

Then maybe I am looking at a lie

Maybe everything I love is gone

And I am just too slow to know

Chorus

Stars

Are the last ones to leave

Stars

They don't say goodbye

Stars

Burn the whole night down

Stars

Then they let you go

Drop

Stars stars stars

Stars stars stars

Verse

Grandad pointed up and named a few

I forgot the names but not the shape of him

His hand a shadow over half the sky

Small against the size of all that black

Pre-Chorus

If he burned out long before I looked

Then maybe I am waving at a ghost

Maybe every hand I ever held

Is somewhere cold and far away

Chorus

Stars

Are the last ones to leave

Stars

They don't say goodbye

Stars

Burn the whole night down

Stars

Then they let you go

Bridge

I want to be that patient

I want to be that far

I want to be that bright

For someone in the dark

For someone in the dark

Drop

Stars stars stars

Stars stars stars

Chorus

Stars

Are the last ones to leave

Stars

They don't say goodbye

Stars

Burn the whole night down

Stars

Then they let you go
