Lyric

Light from a star that died

Still touches my face tonight

Millions of years to arrive

Still warm like a memory’s light

I lay back on this rooftop edge

Thinking 'bout lives I might have led

One where I stayed, one where I fled

One where I never woke from bed

Do they all still walk beside me

Or are they lost where time won’t find me

Is this real, or am I just

A flash of thought, a spark of dust

I see him there with different eyes

Another me beneath this sky

I’m a memory, floating free

In starlight from a galaxy

That barely even remembers me

But still believes

Still believes

I hear my voice in other tones

In cities built from different bones

Each one feels like half my own

But none of them could stand alone

Some are soft, and some are stone

Some were kings, and some unknown

I walk their paths when I dream

Lost in lives I’ve never seen

I ask myself with quiet breath

If I’ve lived through every death

I’m a memory, floating free

In starlight from a galaxy

That barely even remembers me

But still believes

Still believes

This body’s just a sacred shell

But my soul’s a carousel

I’ve danced with time and slipped the frame

I’ve known the stars before my name

I’m a memory, floating free

In starlight from a galaxy

That barely even remembers me

But still believes

Still believes

Starlight memory

Still believes
