Let's pretend this night is ours
like we ever really owned it?
That cold wind's not circling round the house
The cracks and tears aren't showing
If traffic noise was breaking waves
I could take you for a swim
We'd dry off under the street lights
And know we'd almost had a win

So kid-on, that neon sign's the moon
Barking street dogs are singing us a tune
Even though the rain is falling
We'll still pretend that we're together here
Underneath the stars
Underneath the stars

I never meant to make you tired, take so much away
I was too busy moving on
When all I had to do was stay
No stars above to guide us
No way to see where the light was
You were standing in the shadows
That seemed so far away

Kid-on, that neon sign's the moon
Barking street dogs are singing us a tune
Even though the rain is falling
We'll still pretend that we're together here
Underneath the stars
Underneath the stars

If I pull this sheet right over our heads
Make this place a palace
Nothing less than a court for kings and countesses
That's just not the way it is, I guess

Kid-on, that neon sign's the moon
Barking street dogs are singing us a tune
For one last night, let's pretend we're still together here
Underneath the stars
Underneath the stars
Underneath the stars
Underneath the stars
