Lyrics

[Intro]
Late bus
Night rush
Headphones
World hush
(yeah yeah)

[Verse 1]
Mi step out clean
But mi brain still messy
Old track playin’ from a scratched-up CD
You said “I’ll ring ya” but you nevah text back
So mi dance wid mi shadow in a cul-de-sac

Lil’ bit tipsy from a Tuesday cider
Heart feel light but the sky look wider
Friends dem callin’
“ya comin’ outside?”
Mi seh
“one more tune
Then we ride”

[Pre-Chorus]
You keep flickin’ in mi mind like a streetlamp
Blink on
Blink off
Then ya gone
I keep chasin’ every beat like a bus pass
Tap in
Tap out
Move on

[Chorus]
We’re just a starlight runaway
Glowin’ in the break of day
Spin me ‘round
Don’t let it fade
Keep me in your gravity

We’re just a starlight runaway
Laughin’ while the world decay
Hold mi tight
Don’t make mi stray
You feel like home inna galaxy
(you feel like home, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Mi talk half fast
Half sweet
Half cheeky
“Where ya from?” You ask
Ya already feel mi
Bit o’ Cork in mi laugh
London in mi curse
Island in mi veins
All mix in a verse

We cut through lane where the houses lean in
Your coat round mi waist when the rain come in
You say “stay ‘til mornin’
We can skip that flight”
Mi seh
“write it pon mi skin for the rest of mi life”

[Pre-Chorus]
You keep flickin’ in mi mind like a streetlamp
Blink on
Blink off
Then ya stay
I keep chasin’ every beat like a bus pass
Tap in
Tap out
No delay

[Chorus]
We’re just a starlight runaway
Glowin’ in the break of day
Spin me ‘round
Don’t let it fade
Keep me in your gravity

We’re just a starlight runaway
Laughin’ while the world decay
Hold mi tight
Don’t make mi stray
You feel like home inna galaxy
(oh, inna galaxy)

[Bridge]
[Beat drops to sparse piano and vocal]
If the sun don’t rise
We still find light
On your bedroom wall
Draw a sky so bright
If the trains don’t run
We still reach there
Every road in mi heart lead back to your stare
(lead back to your stare, yeah)

[Chorus]
We’re just a starlight runaway
Glowin’ in the break of day
Spin me ‘round
Don’t let it fade
Keep me in your gravity

We’re just a starlight runaway
Laughin’ while the world decay
Hold mi tight
Don’t make mi stray
You feel like home inna galaxy

[Outro]
Late bus
Night done
Same road
New sun
(mi starlight, mi runaway)
