Starfall After School

[Verse 1]

Late bell rings

We’re still on the rooftop

Hiding

Shoes kicked off

Your tie like a flag in the sky

Plastic stars

On your old black backpack shining

You say

“Someday

We’ll turn this town up too bright”

[Pre-Chorus]

My heart’s out of rhythm

Then you laugh

Snap a pic

Say “Keep this

It’s our map”

All these little almost-moments

Pulling me into your orbit

[Chorus]

Starfall after school

We’re burning up the daylight

Running past the rules

Sneakers on the red line (hey!)

Shouting out our names like we’re a headline story

Starfall after school

This is teenage glory

Whoa

We’re never coming down

Whoa

We’re louder than this town

Starfall after school

You and me in full color

Every little second getting brighter than the other

[Verse 2]

Bikes lean low

By the old convenience corner

Melon sodas

Sweating in our tangled hands

You draw hearts

In the dust on my phone’s screen border

Say “It’s dumb”

But you never wipe it away

[Pre-Chorus]

Your joke breaks the quiet

I forget

Every fear I haven’t named yet

All these little almost-moments

Feel like fireworks in slow motion

[Chorus]

Starfall after school

We’re burning up the daylight

Running past the rules

Sneakers on the red line (yeah!)

Shouting out our names like we’re a headline story

Starfall after school

This is teenage glory

Whoa

We’re never coming down

Whoa

We’re louder than this town

Starfall after school

You and me in full color

Every little second getting brighter than the other

[Bridge]

If this is just a Tuesday

Why’s my world on tilt

Your hand brushing my sleeve

Shakes the skyline I built

If we’re only pretending

Why’s it feel this true

If there’s a next life coming

Let me waste it all with you (with you)

[Chorus]

Starfall after school

We’re burning up the daylight

Running past the rules

Sneakers on the red line (hey!)

Shouting out our names like we’re a headline story

Starfall after school

This is teenage glory

Whoa

We’re never coming down

Whoa

We’re louder than this town

Starfall after school

Say you’ll stay till it’s over

Till the last light fades and we’re walking home slower
