From my childhood bed, they hung overhead
Constellations from a pack
Stuck to the sky, the adhesive had dried
Didn't realize I'd get so attached
Pleiades fell from the ceiling today
I guess the glue finally wore down
Stick on stars watched from their plastic array
Everyone said to rush to get back into town
Now I'm driving through states as I'm plugging my way back home
I'll take up her place so the stars don't feel so alone
Sirius watched from his place in the sky
I asked him if he understood
The science behind all the trials they tried
He told me the odds were still good
But if i could come home, then I should
Now I'm driving through states as I'm talking my way back home
Take up her place so the stars don't feel so alone
Back in my college town counting the hours up
Overreact to how the hospital coffee sucks
I take the afternoons, I've never seen him cry
Sirius is holding up Pleiades in the sky
Talking my way back home
The stars don't feel
When a star finally falls there's no way to prepare
She still smiles the same as she's losing her hair
It's Sirius who is now vaguely aware
There's nothing to see without Pleiades there
Star finally falls there's no way to prepare
Still smiles the same as she's losing her hair
Star finally falls there's no way to prepare
Nothing to see without Pleiades there
