[Verse 1]

A spark

What is a spark?

How many times will that kind of a feeling come shimmering past–

The kind I regard with such conviction that it could shift my whole path?

Trace my trajectory into the dark

Place blind trust into healed scars

They come, they go

Like the waves in deep space flow

Sometimes the nights I fear most are lying there knowing a spark went cold

Pushed away love to a place unknown

Bartered and sold all of my own

No foresight to guide me, no heart to make whole

[Refrain]

Safe in your embrace

Still getting ahеad of myself

Don't let me gеt swept away

By all of the dreams, the lights, the plans that I make

[Pre-Chorus]

Stars cross and meet for a moment

Fleeting points of symmetry

Everything I need could be right here

Slow the seasons and let me off

'Cause I couldn't stop the clock

[Chorus]

Stars cross and meet for a moment

Fleeting points of symmetry

No time to say goodbye before we find we've lost each other to the turning of the years

Everything I need could be right here

Slow the seasons and let me off

Trust me to walk away, and I'll rue the day forever 'cause I couldn't stop the clock

[Verse 2]

I wanna wake up to the sun in my window

Taste the cold, bitter winter's rain

I wanna keep learning the things that move me

I wanna feel pleasure, I wanna feel pain

I wanna be feminine and be masculine and be motivated and calm

I wanna build up an identity around how I feel in your arms

[Pre-Chorus]

But if I'm chasing butterflies, then uncertainty is the choice

These rites of passage that I seek get lost to all of this noise

Don't let me lose sight of the fact that I'm never stopping this clock

If a spark's enough to restructure me, then imagine all that it costs

(All that it costs)

[Chorus]

Stars cross and meet for a moment

Fleeting points of symmetry

No time to say goodbye before we find we've lost each other to the turning of the years

Everything I need could be right here

Slow the seasons and let me off

Trust me to walk away, and I'll rue the day forever 'cause I couldn't stop the clock

[Post-Chorus]

(I couldn't stop the clock)

[Outro]

If I had the hindsight to know I made the right move

Maybe I would be gentler and less cruel

I wanna look back in ten years and feel, sincerely, that this was a risk worth taking

And I have nothing else left to prove

I wish I could make promises and speak certainties and be true

But truth be told, I'm terrified that this path could take me from you

With tunnel vision I'll sacrifice my heart

To find the power that comes with fear just like the light in a spark
