Still Glowing In The Dark

Intro

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Verse 1

Every box is taped and labeled

There's a sold sign on the lawn

I flip the switch to say goodbye

And the whole ceiling's coming on

Fifty plastic stars still glowing

Every crooked one's still there

You were standing on my shoulders

I was standing on a chair

We named every constellation

Like the sky belonged to us

There's the Dragon and the Rocket

And a lopsided one called Bus

Pre-Chorus

So I lie down on the carpet

Like I did a thousand nights

And I count them one by one

Till I'm ten years old inside

Chorus

We were glow-in-the-dark stars

On a homemade bedroom sky

We soaked up every summer

Just to shine through the longest night

And when the lights go out (hey!)

And life pulls us apart (hey!)

Just look up, I'll be there

Still glowing in the dark

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Verse 2

Then you moved out to the city

And I drifted who knows where

We got busy, we got older

And the calls got short and rare

There were nights the rent was heavy

There were nights I couldn't sleep

There were nights I lost my footing

And the dark got way too deep

But I'd close my eyes and see them

Fifty stars, a chair, and you

Proof that something cheap and plastic

Can keep shining all night through

Pre-Chorus

So I lie down on the carpet

Like I did a thousand nights

And I count them one by one

Till I'm ten years old inside

Chorus

We were glow-in-the-dark stars

On a homemade bedroom sky

We soaked up every summer

Just to shine through the longest night

And when the lights go out (hey!)

And life pulls us apart (hey!)

Just look up, I'll be there

Still glowing in the dark

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Bridge

So I peel them off the ceiling

And I take the whole sky down

Fifty stars inside my pocket

And I'm driving to your town

Get the chair (hey!)

Climb on my shoulders (hey!)

We're a little bit older (hey!)

But we're not too old (hey!)

Chorus

We were glow-in-the-dark stars

On a homemade bedroom sky

We soaked up every summer

Just to shine through the longest night

And when the lights go out (hey!)

And life pulls us apart (hey!)

Just look up, we'll be there

Still glowing in the dark

Yeah, just look up, we'll be there

Still glowing in the dark

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Outro

Half our wishes never happened

Half of them came true

But I'd make 'em all again

If I could make 'em next to you
