New Astronomy Lyrics

The windows and walls
Are tasting our bitterness
The concrete's as hard
As it ever was
But I first met you when
You sat on a sidewalk with my friend
We didn't really talk
But your love it was medicine
And later after our show
You came over to let me know

The words I seem to get for free
Will someday pay the rent for me
Well, I'm not sure
Aren't we still obscure?
Behind these clouds
I'm certain the stars are lit
At times I'm a know-it-all
Yeah, I know it
But my dad's new family soon goes to Venice, Italy
We get to fill that house with a new astronomy
The asteroids around the moon
The alcoholic afternoons
Will tumble through the atmosphere
Like the lonely songs we both hold dear
Well thats bizzarre
They look like falling stars
