lyrics

Just across the street from us
There’s so many things to reach for
It never quite looks the same when
It's in front of you

Sometimes I think we missed a trick
But we lucked into a better thing
It never quite looks the same when
It's in front of you

Lights eat the stars
Lights eat the stars
In the winter time

The shimmering grit from cars that pass
A kerbside mirage, it never lasts
It never quite looks the same when
It's in front of you

There’s some time inside our hearts
And as it ticks by, we fall apart
It never quite looks the same when
It's in front of you

Lights eat the stars
Lights eat the stars
In the wintertime

I know what it means
The cold shoulder to our memories
It's harder it seems
To be understood
Like you really should

Lights eat the stars
Lights eat the stars
Lights eat the stars
Lights eat the stars

I know what it means
The cold shoulder to our memories
It's harder it seems
And you're drawn towards false remedies
But all, we really need
Is to be understood
Like you really should
