Skittish - Jagged Stars lyrics
[Skittish - Jagged Stars lyrics]
They said you didn't feel a thing
When the phone rings out that late at night
You know it there's no good news to bring
And sunny days you skipped right through
Come back to you
Splashing in the puddles of the rain
Although I know it's been awhile
Like some rare species it seemed to please
Me just knowing you were out there
I can still remember hiding from the storm
A blanket stretched across four nervous knees
Huddled in the basement
Listening to the radio she said, "It's me"
Though I hadn't heard your
Mother's words in years
I knew her immediately
She was lying on the floor next to her bed
With saline streaks all down her cheeks
And she's just throwing tears to the carpet
While lights, red and blue
Reflecting off a million jagged
Stars all around you
Some sunk in and stuck to your arm
Thirty yards behind you lies a one ton
Wilted blue balloon
It was such a quiet night
I can still remember, holding out my hand
And dancing on your brother's wedding day
This is not an endinglet's call
It a chapter break
When the phone rings out that late at night
You know it there's no good news to bring
And sunny days you skipped right through
Come back to you
Splashing in the puddles of the rain
Although I know it's been awhile
Like some rare species it seemed to please
Me just knowing you were out there
I can still remember hiding from the storm
A blanket stretched across four nervous knees
Huddled in the basement
Listening to the radio she said, "It's me"
Though I hadn't heard your
Mother's words in years
I knew her immediately
She was lying on the floor next to her bed
With saline streaks all down her cheeks
And she's just throwing tears to the carpet
While lights, red and blue
Reflecting off a million jagged
Stars all around you
Some sunk in and stuck to your arm
Thirty yards behind you lies a one ton
Wilted blue balloon
It was such a quiet night
I can still remember, holding out my hand
And dancing on your brother's wedding day
This is not an endinglet's call
It a chapter break
