Lyrics

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
It's two in the morning and you're breathing slow beside me,
one arm on the pillow, the whole house quiet and warm.
And I'm nine years back with my hand on a door I ran from,
counting the seconds before I pushed it open for the first time since I'm gone.

[Chorus]
And the glow stars still had light in them for me,
crooked on the ceiling where a kid had stuck them up.
Nobody moved a thing in all that time.
The glow stars still had light in them for me.

[Verse 2]
The hallway light came under the door in one thin yellow line,
my mother's slippers in the hall, worn down at the heel.
Same dent in the mattress where I used to lie and plan my leaving,
nine years of dust on a trophy nobody moved, and I laughed until it hurt to feel.

[Chorus 2]
And the glow stars still had light in them for me,
holding a little green like they'd been waiting up.
Nobody threw a single thing away.
The glow stars still had light in them for me.

[Bridge]
I didn't drive all night to be forgiven,
I came to see if something in me broke.
And I sat on that floor in my coat and I was laughing,
because I was fine, I was fine, I was fine the whole time.

[Final Chorus]
And the glow stars still had light in them for me,
so I'm not homesick anymore, I'm carrying the room.
I take it everywhere I go from here.
The glow stars still had light in them for me.
(still had light in them for me)

[Outro]
You're breathing slow, the ceiling's dark above us,
and the glow stars still had light in them for me.
