Chasing Stars In My Sneakers

[Verse 1] Map drawn in marker On the side of my hand You said “Pick a direction” I said “All that we can” Backpacks full of maybe Pockets full of sand Sneakers on the wires Hearts out of demand [Chorus] We’re chasing stars in our sneakers Jump so high Leave the ground behind Impossible dreams But we’re dreamers If the sky won’t open We’ll draw a new line We’re chasing stars in our sneakers Breathless Laughing into the dark Impossible dreams getting nearer Every little step lights a spark [Verse 2] Midnight on the playground Swings creak like a chant You drum on the slide I sway Half-astronaut Street names sound like kingdoms When you say them slow You point at a window Call it “our first home” [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] If we fall If we bruise We’ll paint the scrapes in silver hues [falsetto harmony] Every scar A tiny moon Spinning round what we’ll do soon Hand in hand We climb the air Turn the doubts into a dare If the gate is locked tonight We’ll dance the code We’ll crack the light [Chorus]
