Starcrossed


from NTI Spring '21 Company Project


Written by: Alex Shelbourne


Lord, I fear I’ve reached the end

I can feel the rain again

Can I really face this world on my own?


Baby, mark another day

Some poor fool gave himself away

I think I’ll pack my things and go home


Why do I jump from the bridge when I can see what’s below?

Why do I offer my heart, for them to take a piece and go?

It’s ‘cause I know


Just ask the stars above

It takes just one good love

To save my heart from the cold

And we’ll never grow old


Cause the dark doesn’t stay

When the lights fade away

When the world’s dead and gone

You’ll see the starcrossed shine on


Seems it’s time to make amends

Say goodbye to all your friends

You say you’ll meet again, but know not when


Leave behind the petty fights

Good and bad sleepless nights

Time to find someplace new to start again


How can we feel so much fire and save any for the show?

Why do we move out so fast, yet move on so slow?

It’s ‘cause we know


Just ask the stars above

It takes just one good love

To save my heart from the cold

And we’ll never grow old


And the dark doesn’t stay

When the lights fade away

When the world’s dead and gone

You’ll see the starcrossed shine on


I feel the dark closing in

And I’m in the rain again

But I think I’ll sit and look up for a while
