Cause when you're so far below the floor, everything's a ceiling.

I'm calling out to you
F Am G

Cause they've all been dead for millions of years, they're just light diffusing.
F Am
And a constellation is more
C Am G
And the brightest point is form,

But every telescope you assumed
F G C
Was pointed only at you.

F G C
That's farther away from you
