[Verse 1] Sleepless on the rooftop Eyes up Mouth closed But my chest Picks up a signal Faint as frozen breath On winter metal rails Little flares Skipping through the black [Pre-Chorus] I hear numbers in the timing Of each shimmer Like they’re spelling out a secret Only distance can deliver [Chorus] Astronomical whispers Falling through the dark to me Echoes from a thousand winters Drifting in a silent sea Astronomical whispers Saying what you’ll never speak From a dozen dead constellations Straight into my trembling teeth [Verse 2] Late-night kettle hissing Phone face down Yet the room Tilts Pulls toward the window Every point of light Feels a little louder Like they’re crowding Just above the glass [Pre-Chorus] I keep breathing in the static Till it settles Every shimmer Every flicker Feels like someone taking hold [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] Lean in Headphones off Let the sky Do the talking If you’re quiet long enough You can hear it keep your name Folded in the pauses Between heartbeats Between stars [Chorus]
