lyrics

** you watched a shooting star fall between two colliding planes
** when the moon came up to swallow the sun
** we watched Adventure Time on the neighbors crappy distant wifi
** but your eyes were looking for more
** you're looking for more

the moon doesn't set when you want it to
it's got no one keeping it down
when through the trees you're squinting to see
whether it's winking at you or at me
.
know that you mean miles more than you say
my words don't mean anything
when I'm thinking back
the back of your head
is all that I saw that time

** you watched a shooting star fall between two colliding planes
** when the moon came up to swallow the sun
** we watched Adventure Time on the neighbors crappy distant wifi
** but your eyes were looking for more
** you're looking for more

everyone comes from the same place
we're all shooting stars in our minds
this isn't all everything I will ever be
.
know that you mean miles more than you say
my words don't mean anything
when I'm thinking back
the back of your head
is all that I saw that time

** you watched a shooting star fall between two colliding planes
** when the moon came up to swallow the sun
** we watched Adventure Time on the neighbors crappy distant wifi
** but your eyes were looking for more
** you're looking for more
you're looking for more

don't keep to yourself
it's killing me
it's killing me
it's killing me slow
don't keep to yourself
it's killing me
it's killing me
it's killing me slow
