i built a house and live alone inside the woods
i stayed there as long as i could
before i saw it was doing me no good
he said we're all living lives of quiet desperation
i started to believe him
til i looked up at the constellations
the stars were burning bright
so bright and bright and far apart
pull them together though
they created a work of art
lookuplookuplookuplookup into the sky, love
you'll see that moon shining so high up above us
it rolls around on account of a bunch of scientific stuff
i like to think it does
just because He loves us
i left the lonely woods and i moved into the city
traded those stately pines for concrete prairies
didn't have to look up at the stars burning in the night sky
i saw them burning in the eyes of the people that are passing by
some are bright and bright and bright and burning happily along
others had sadly burned out long ago
lookuplookuplookuplookup into the sky, love
you'll see that moon shining so high up above us
it rolls around on account of a bunch of scientific stuff
i like to think it does
just because He loves us
i loved a girl once
never acted like i did or told her that i did
cause the ones before her they didn't act very appreciative
have you seen her, do you know her?
she looks so pretty with her hair pulled back
tell her what if i could take all the time i stole from her back
and put it in a little pine box i made with my own bare hands
filled with apologies, love, kisses, second chances
lookuplookuplookuplookup into the sky, love
you'll see that moon shining so high up above us
it rolls around on account of a bunch of scientific stuff
i like to think it does
just because He loves us
