lyrics

I was rolling to the edge of the world - coming in from the deep
i was bathing in radio waves - listening to you breathe
i can't see you but i can feel you - pulling me
close my eyes as you come into view - gravity

'cos i am a wandering star - you are the constellation i belong in
passing you in the night - you are such a beautiful sight to me

i was young, i was burning love - the center of your heart
the first to come and the last to leave - holding you in the dark
city lights and carbon monoxide - people stopped looking, people stopped dreaming
pretty soon it was mixed up and i was drifting away

'cos i am a wandering star - you are the constellation i belong in
passing you in the night - i would love to make everything right

i would trade all my traveling days - to lay my head on your chest
close my eyes and think of you - in your milky white wedding dress
i can't see you but i can feel you coming to me
hold my hand as we kneel at the altar - gravity

'cos i am a wandering star - you are the constellation i belong in
passing you in the night - you are such a beautiful sight to me
'cos i am a wandering star - you are the constellation i belong in
passing you in the night - i would love to make everything right
