I took the longer way home Though I knew a quicker way Bought a drink and took my time Just to stay outside a little Everybody rushed somewhere I was fine with taking time Then the sky turned pale and blue And one small light caught my eye Funny how a little thing Can change the way the whole day feels I almost kept it to myself Then I thought of you First star Out so early Hanging in the fading blue First star Tiny spark And suddenly I’m thinking of you I don’t need a perfect sign I don’t need to know what comes next You were already on my mind When I saw the first star First star First star And somehow you came to mind You were laughing by the stairs With your sleeves pulled past your hands I was trying not to stare Like I had some better plan Later on I saw your name Still open on my phone Closed the screen and looked outside There it was again Maybe liking someone starts Before you even call it that Little moments follow you And somehow lead right back First star Out so early Hanging in the fading blue First star Tiny spark And suddenly I’m thinking of you I don’t need a perfect sign I don’t need to know what comes next You were already on my mind When I saw the first star First star First star And somehow you came to mind I didn’t make a wish I almost did Then I laughed ’Cause I already knew If somebody asked me What I wanted I’d probably change the subject But the sky knows The sky knows First star Out so early Right before the dark rolls in First star Tiny spark Making everything feel different Maybe nothing happens yet Maybe that’s the part I like You’re the thought I didn’t plan At the edge of every night First star First star You were the first thing on my mind
