Starry Night Lyrics

Lying on my back I feel you breathing
Sucking down the ghosts into your sleep
There's something in your spine that makes me nervous
Black that swells between us grows more deep
Cut the world in chords
Making melodies from words
And I'm confused again
Take all this abuse cause I ain't got much to lose

It's a starry starry night out here on hope street
But hope gives way to hunger when you're poor
With pockets full of promises and poems
I know that you ain't worth much anymore
Spoke in broken time
Twisted rythyms, crooked rhymes
And I'm confused again
Paint my world in blue
Cause I've never liked to lose

Standing in the half light of the morning
I watch the shadows lace across my shoes
There's something in your voice that makes me nervous
If I can tell we're lying, why can't you?
The song that's in my head
Is playing backwards in this bed
And I'm confused again
Seems like I have to choose
It feels like either way I lose

Cause I don't think I want to spend another night with you
Well I don't think I want to spend another day
Feeling the way you leave me to
I don't think I want to spend another night with you
I don't think I want to spend another day
Feeling the way you leave me to

Spoke in broken time
Crooked rythyms, twisted rhymes
And I'm confused again
Either way I choose
I know I'm gonna lose

I don't think I want to spend another night with you
I don't think I want to spend another day
Feeling the way you leave me to
I don't think I want to spend another night with you
I don't think I want to spend another day
Feeling the way you leave me to
(I don't think I want to spend another night with you)
Feeling the way you leave me to
(I don't think I want to spend another night with you)
Feeling the way you leave me to
(I don't think I want to spend another night with you)
Feeling the way you leave me to
(I don't think I want to spend another night with you)
Come On!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is such a clutch song. It is pretty self explanitory. He is confused by a relationship he has with a girl. In the past they werent always that honest with each other,and although they both know that the relationship will never go anywhere because of what they did or said in the past,they will not admit it to themselves. Good song....
