Is there a key for every door?
Would that make your world seem smaller?
Every bottle washed up on the shore
Turns the ocean into watercolor

Did that redwood forest floor
Make your time feel so much shorter?
I don't think I've ever cared about you more
When you said: Does all this really matter?

Whichever sleeping star you lay your head under tonight
Just look up and remember they're all dying
Don't you dare pretend like you can always see the light
The more we find, the less we understand
You just live your life and love whatever you can

Is there a map for every trail?
Would that keep you from your worry?
Maybe it's just in our blood to try and fail
Sister, let yourself be sorry

Whichever sleeping star you lay your head under tonight
Just look up and remember they're all dying
Don't you dare pretend like you can always see the light
The more we find, the less we understand
Just live your life and love whatever you can

If everything's supposed to end up good
God's not listening or He misunderstood
The times I begged that this would pass our way
He took when He should have gave

Whichever sleeping star you lay your head under tonight
Just look up and remember we're all dying
Don't you dare pretend like you can always see the light
The more we find, the less we understand
Just live your life and love whatever you can
