Brooklyn Stars - Matt Pond PA

In complete darkness 
I lose balance 
I'm getting dressed you're still asleep 
think you're a fake 
at not being awake 
I reach the door your breath has changed 
I do not stop 
turn all the locks 
don't hold your breath you shouldn't wait 

the birds and cars 
speak up when they reach morning 
I know some day 
the spring will return again 

I'm returning to 
a small green room 
at 5:15 the sky has changed 
from black to blue 
still hardly day 
these brooklyn stars are small and strange 
I'm under roads 
they're going home 
next to statues of saints of snow 

perfect plans cannot be made 
I hate fights about merging on to interstates 
I think people should realize 
there are other lanes 
not just theirs for only them 
to get them home again 
to go home again 

in complete darkness 
I lose balance 
I'm getting dressed you're still asleep 
don't hold your breath you shouldn't wait 
there's no one there for you to save 

I know some day 
the spring will return again 
the birds and cars 
speak up when they reach morning 
I'm not gone yet 
I want more of everything
