[Verse 1]
Found a box in the thrift store aisle
Old maps
Old notes
Someone’s crooked smile
Polaroids stuck with a coffee stain
Half a name on the back
Half a train
[Chorus]
These second-hand constellations
Strangers’ stars in my hands
Little lives in the margins
Ticket stubs
Rubber bands
I trace their roads like equations
Guess the songs that they sang
Second-hand constellations
But the dots feel the same
[Verse 2]
There’s a letter dated ’92
“Don’t wait up
I’ll be home by two”
Never signed
Nеver even sеnt
Folded twice
Like a compliment
[Chorus]
These second-hand constellations
Strangers’ stars in my hands
Little lives in the margins
Ticket stubs
Rubber bands
I trace their roads like equations
Guess the songs that they sang
Second-hand constellations
But the dots feel the same
[Bridge]
Maybe they’re out there
Grown and gray
Or sitting three streets down today (oh)
They’ll never know I hold their sky
On a dusty shelf
Beside mine
[Chorus]
These second-hand constellations
Strangers’ stars in my hands
Little lives in the margins
Ticket stubs
Rubber bands
I trace their roads like equations
Guess the songs that we sang
Second-hand constellations
All our dots feel the same
