For the Sake of Brevity – If You’re the North Star, I’m a Faulty Paper Lantern Lyrics

Artist: For the Sake of Brevity
Song: If You’re the North Star, I’m a Faulty Paper Lantern

Driving past that one house
The balconies stack like novels I keep meaning to read
You make me feel like a fraud
If I was braver or dumber

I might say I love you for it
I’ll try to figure out
What it is about the word love that makes my eyes well up with tears
My mask start to fall apart and split

And when a metaphor meets real life
I can’t tell if that makes it better or worse
The narcissist in the back of my head insists
I’m not hopeless, I’m cursed

Time zones are just small scale astrology
And I’ll sleep when I find a quiеter chest
I’m a mess
But I’ll look up to Polaris

And hopе we’ll see the same constellations in time
And time zones are the oceans between us
Set sail to the center, catch a moment
And I’ll get lost at sea

Treasure hunting won’t do much to find me
But get a wreck washed up on shore
And we can get some sleep
I know you know I do this

But you always said you don’t pay attention to lyrics
So I wonder if you’ll ever know that this one’s about you
And I know it’s a cliche to point out cliches
As some gesture at self awareness

So is it ironic that all I ever wanted to say
Is “you have really pretty eyes”
And my anxiety jumps teams between calling me
A coward and a nuisance

Overthinking every seasonal first word
Time zones are just small scale astrology
And I’ll sleep when I find a quieter chest
I’m a mess

But I’ll look up to Polaris
And hope we’ll see the same constellations in time
And time zones are the oceans between us
Set sail to the center, catch a moment

And I’ll get lost at sea
Treasure hunting won’t do much to find me
But get a wreck washed up on shore
And we can get some sleep

You’re moving up north in 2 months
We might never see each other again
I spent so long waiting for the future
That I forgot to make it happen

Effort is vulnerability
I’ve got the unfortunate condition of having
A heavy heart with no spine to support it
I’m sorry for the confusion

The awkward silences
The space
And what makes all this talk about
Distance and oceans and stars so pathetic

Is that, at least for now, you’re only a few steps away
