Pull the Stars Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They're building new buildings They're gonna block our view And I do suppose it's payback in turn For those we did the same thing to Along bypasses and ring roads I've been rerouting for years When the feeling gets old And the question takes hold Am I siding with love or with fear? [Chorus] So put on your good shoes And silence your phone now Brave the trains and meet me across town We'll go out spinning stories Trying to pull the stars down Trying to pull the stars down [Verse 2] At night, the highways are humming A little dimmer than they did back then And, oh, the shadows they cast Likе pleas from lovers past We'rе never meant to hear from again But there's a buzzing in the back of my brain now Like this conversation's happened before And ain't it a shame to admit Your favorite version of something you miss Might not exist anymore [Chorus] So put on your good shoes And silence your phone now Brave the trains and meet me across town We'll go out spinning stories Trying to pull the stars down Trying to pull the stars down We'll go out spinning stories Trying to pull the stars down [Bridge] And did you take a couple pictures So you could prove that you were there? Or did you stick to that tired old narrative That nothing ever happens here? No, no [Chorus] So put on your good shoes And silence your phone now Brave the trains and meet me across town We'll go out spinning stories Trying to pull the stars down Trying to pull the stars down Trying to pull the stars down We'll go out spinning stories Trying to pull the stars down Trying to pull the stars down
