Constellation Lyrics

I looked up at the sky last night and saw a patch of stars

And I called them by your name

There's nothing new in Heaven, guess they've been there all along

It's only my perspective that's changed

The comets fly and the bodies fall and the clouds cover up the light

While you remain my constellation, hiding in plain sight

Oh, you remain my constellation, hiding in plain sight

Somewhere on the other side of the sun and moon's great arc

Those stars fell under your gaze

You called each one in Latin with your scientific names

Just like you learned in your schoolhood days

You classify and catalogue each object in your telescope view

Unaware there's a constellation right in front of you

Look up, see the constellation that I named after you

Oh, look at them now

Before they flicker out

Even though we know they burned out

'Bout a million years ago

I can't find the horizon, I can't make my way at night

But I still see those pinpricks in the dark

Astronomy makes no sense to me, can't calculate the speed of light

But I know just how far apart we are

We revolve around each other's sound in a silent sea of space

You and I, a constellation falling into place

Oh, you and I, a constellation falling into

Grace
