G Fm Ab G
You won’t sink, if you just float and single out a star
They won’t return the gaze, they don’t even know who you are
G Ab Cm D
Too busy with conversations among constellations
Too busy burning bold and bright for unknown durations
Kinda funny how I see their light and think to call it pretty
When I’m terrified of being itty bitty
A Gm Bb A
You won’t sink, if you just float and single out a star
They won’t return the gaze, they don’t even know who you are
Dm Bb Cm A
How can I turn this into something more inspiring?
(They don’t know a thing, about what it feels like to sing)
I thought I was an optimist at heart
(They don’t know a thing, they don’t know a thing)
God I wish I could mindlessly star-gaze
(They don’t know a thing, about what it feels like to sing)
Without pondering my place in the world
(They don’t know a thing, they don’t know a thing)
Does a tree have feelings if she doesn’t ever make ‘em into art
Can I please have a moment to myself?
I’m lonely, I’m bored, I’m sad, I’m scared
(Can I please have a moment? I’d like a moment to shine)
And I’m tired of writing the same songs over and over again
(I’d like a moment that feels like mine, that feels like mine)
Can I please put the tools in my toolbox on the shelf? You say it’ll help
(Can I please have a moment? I’d like a moment to shine)
But I’m wasting time trying to fix myself
(I’d like a moment that feels like mine, that feels like mine)
Will I just be climbing around in my mind ‘til the end?
Ebm B C#m Bb
Documentation in vain
Save all the joy, and capture the pain
Can’t fight time and I don’t want to, I don’t want to
But save me in a picture, make a backup, put my life online
(Save me in a picture, make a backup, put my life online)
If I don’t write down every thought and feeling, I’ll forget that they were mine
Put me on the map but please don’t look me in the eye or pull
Me closer to a place where I can’t settle for peripheral
(Pull me closer to a place where I can play)
(I’d like a moment that feels like mine)
Let me replay every moment, everything I don’t want to forget
(Let me replay every moment)
I’m terrified that I will lose my grip on every single glimpse
I put the details in a journal to revisit
(I’m terrified, that I will lose my grip)
But God it’s hard when it comes to potential word count there’s no limit
Dm Eb Dm Eb
Documentation, dehumanization, Why can’t I let go?
(Documentation, dehumanization, why can’t I let go?)
Dm Eb Dm Asus4-A
I hold on tight to whoever it is I think you think you know
Gm A
Until no one knows
Bb G#m B Bb
You won’t sink, if you just float and single out a star
They won’t return the gaze, they don’t even know who you are

Too busy with conversations among constellations
Too busy burning bold and bright for unknown durations
Bb C Ebm Cm6
Kinda funny how I see their light and think to call it pretty
When I’m terrified of being itty bitty
When I’m terrified of being itty bitty
When I’m terrified
