Maybe I've been the problem 00:33

Maybe I'm the one to blame 00:35

But even when I turn it off and blame myself 00:39

The outcome feels the same 00:43

I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy 00:46

Maybe I'm the chance of rain 00:50

And maybe I'm overcast 00:53

And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain 00:56

I've been thinking 'bout everyone 01:00

Everyone you look so lonely 01:04

But when I look at the stars 01:08

When I look at the stars 01:12

When I look at the stars, I see someone else 01:15

When I look at the stars 01:22

The stars, I feel like myself 01:27

Stars looking at a planet 01:39

Watching entropy and pain 01:41

And maybe start to wonder 01:45

How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane 01:46

I've been thinking 'bout the meaning of resistance 01:52

Of a hope beyond my own 01:56

And suddenly the infinite and penitent 01:59

Begin to look like home 02:03

I've been thinking 'bout everyone 02:06

Everyone you look so empty 02:09

But when I look at the stars 02:13

When I look at the stars 02:17

When I look at the stars, I see someone else 02:20

When I look at the stars 02:28

The stars, I feel like myself, yeah 02:32

Stars, stars 02:45

Everyone, everyone feels so lonely 02:57

Everyone, yeah everyone feels so empty 03:03

When I look at the stars 03:09

When I look at the stars 03:13

When I look at the stars, I feel like myself 03:17

When I look at the stars 03:24

The stars, I see someone 03:29

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Maybe I've been the problem

Maybe I'm the one to blame

But even when I turn it off and blame myself

The outcome feels the same

I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy

Maybe I'm the chance of rain

And maybe I'm overcast

And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain

I've been thinking 'bout everyone

Everyone you look so lonely

But when I look at the stars

When I look at the stars

When I look at the stars, I see someone else

When I look at the stars

The stars, I feel like myself

Stars looking at a planet

Watching entropy and pain

And maybe start to wonder

How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane

I've been thinking 'bout the meaning of resistance

Of a hope beyond my own

And suddenly the infinite and penitent

Begin to look like home

I've been thinking 'bout everyone

Everyone you look so empty

But when I look at the stars

When I look at the stars

When I look at the stars, I see someone else

When I look at the stars

The stars, I feel like myself, yeah

Stars, stars

Everyone, everyone feels so lonely

Everyone, yeah everyone feels so empty

When I look at the stars

When I look at the stars, I feel like myself

When I look at the stars

The stars, I see someone
