Lyric

Missed trains and crowded stations

Scrolling through my faded plans

Heartbeats in little cages

Chasing things I never had

I’ve been tracing all my limits

Like lines across a paper sky

But something in the dark is calling

A whisper saying “you could fly”

So I step to the edge of the rooftop

City breathing under my feet

Every doubt in my head starts to drop off

As the wind sings back to me

I’m a starlight runaway

Throwing all my chains away

See the night unfold like waves

And I ride them

I ride them

I’m a starlight runaway

Turn the dark to silver day

Every shadow falls away

As I rise up

I rise up

We go up

Up

Up in the nighttime (Hey!)

Burning bright

Bright

Bright as we climb

Can’t come down

Down

Down

We’re sky-high

On this starlight runaway

Street lamps blur into halos

As I spin above the town

All the could-have-beens and almosts

Lose their weight and tumble down

Writing wishes on the airflow

Let them scatter where they may

Every breath a little braver

Every second drifting safe

Now the edge of the world’s getting closer

Every fear just falls through the floor

Feel the pull of the stars drawing lower

Like they’ve waited at my door

I’m a starlight runaway

Throwing all my chains away

See the night unfold like waves

And I ride them

I ride them

I’m a starlight runaway

Turn the dark to silver day

Every shadow falls away

As I rise up

I rise up

We go up

Up

Up in the nighttime (Oh!)

Burning bright

Bright

Bright as we climb

Can’t come down

Down

Down

We’re sky-high

On this starlight runaway

Tell me

Who decides the ceiling?

Who says where the horizon ends?

If the sky was made for dreaming

Then I’m never landing again

I’m a starlight runaway

Throwing all my chains away

See the night unfold like waves

And I ride them

I ride them

I’m a starlight runaway

Turn the dark to silver day

Every shadow falls away

As I rise up

I rise up

We go up

Up

Up in the nighttime

Burning bright

Bright

Bright as we climb

Can’t come down

Down

Down

We’re sky-high

On this starlight runaway
