The city finally falls asleepLights dim low, the air feels cleanWe lie back on borrowed timeTracing shapes we’ll never findEvery wish we didn’t sayDrifts between us, far awayThe night feels wide enoughTo let us stayNo rush to name what this could beNo need to know where it leadsFor now the sky is listeningThat’s enough for meWe’re counting starsLike time won’t moveEvery second feels lighterStanding next to youWe’re counting starsLetting silence talkIf the world keeps spinningWe’ll just watchCold hands, warmer laughsStories told in halfEvery doubt I used to holdFeels smaller in the darkThe future waits somewhere elseTonight we don’t belong to itWe’re just here, looking upAt what we missedIf tomorrow comes too fastIf this moment doesn’t lastI’ll remember how it feltRight nowWe’re counting starsNot trying to be braveJust breathing in the quietLetting worries fadeWe’re counting starsTill the sky turns blueI don’t need a wish tonightI’ve got youIf we lose our way somedayIf the lights come back too brightI’ll think of thisAnd slow my steps at nightWe’re counting starsOne by oneEvery number feels like hopeUnder the same sunWe’re counting starsBefore they’re goneSome nights don’t need a reasonTo hold onThe night grows thin, the stars grow shyMorning waits, but not insideIf they ask me where I wasI’ll sayCounting stars
