Stars from the Planes
i saw them in the city, i saw them on the farm they felt so close, so close by i could almost reach out my arms i saw them from the canyon (up and down and) i saw them on the hill and i knew that the ones that were moving fastest they were the ones that looked the most still you smiled and then the sky exploded again but nobody'd ever bothered to explain that once night fell i was somehow supposed to tell the stars from the planes, the stars from the planes i saw them shine and shimmer i watched them fade in flight a billion shades of black and a million more shades of white i spied you chase their trails (and had to wonder) what's the actual rush when the hitch is the ones you can wish upon are the very ones you're never gonna touch i longed to shake all that light 'bove the lake i longed to break free from these chains but once night fell just how was i supposed to tell the stars from the planes, the stars from the planes once we settle this little bet we'll finally know if i'm liar pick a petal, he loves metal pick a petal, he loves fire i studied them in silence like i studied them in school both running into physics mystics running clear out of fuel a burning in our bodies (do you copy) an aching in our souls it was tragic the ones that we feared come crashing they were the only ones in our control we taxied down every runway and found we didnt know how to fly or go up in flames but once night fell we were somehow supposed to tell the stars from the planes, the stars from the planes
