Structure + Lyrics 

Intro/Verse 

leave home today 
escape your region 
it's in your head, keep moving on 

Pre-Chorus 

choose starlight 
no way to retrace 
it is gone 
(no way to retrace all your good days add them up 
it is gone) 

choose star bright 
no way to retrace 
it is gone 
(none of you knew any more then 
leave it here 
it is gone) 

Verse 

become your dad 
live unquestioned 
it's in your head, nostalgia is death 

Pre-Chorus 

choose starlight 
no way to retrace 
it is gone 
(no way to retrace all your good days add them up 
it is gone) 

choose star bright 
no way to retrace 
it is gone 
(none of you knew any more then 
leave it here 
it is gone) 

Chorus 

starlight star bright 
starlight star bright 

Bridge 

can't depend on honest answers from dependent hands 
won't accept an honest answer from an open hand 
(say the words and i sign off 
starlight star bright) 

Chorus 

starlight star bright 
starlight star bright
