Broken String

Stars are bright
And everything's clear tonight
We might change our minds
In the sunlight
I think you don't want me
Just spinning my head lately
If it's space you need
Consider my soul empty
For good
We talked a lot
And it made us tight
We believed if we break a string
It'll be alright
'Cause I said I'll fix it up
With tape and glue
Keep thinking why am I
So out of tune?
Will we wake up
In the middle of the night?
Will we wake up
When your stars and moon bow down to the sunlight?
So you said you're going home
You're going home to heaven
Well let me know when you get in
I'll be awake
Wait just a little while
Wait a little while longer
I keep checking for your number
Coming up on my phone
Maybe I'm a broken string
