Moving Boxes Constellation
by NEONBLOOM
“Cardboard towers, marker labels, and a kitchen box that says moon. It's about leaving a home, told with the gentlest synths we own.”

Lyrics
Cardboard towers in the living room Marker pen labels, kitchen, books, and moon Floor for a table and a lamp for a star First night in the city, I wonder who you are One, two, three, count the boxes Four, five, six, count the hopes Seven, eight, nine, I'm still smiling Ten, and the city glows Moving boxes constellation Every one a little piece of home Stacked up high in the starlight I am not alone Moving boxes constellation Draw a line from the old to the new Shine, shine, shine on me I'm starting over, and it's true Takeaway noodles on the carpet floor Laughing with the echo in a room with no décor A picture of my friends leans against the wall They're a text away, so I don't feel small One, two, three, count the boxes Four, five, six, count the hopes Seven, eight, nine, I'm still smiling Ten, and the city glows Moving boxes constellation Every one a little piece of home Stacked up high in the starlight I am not alone Moving boxes constellation Draw a line from the old to the new Shine, shine, shine on me I'm starting over, and it's true Tomorrow I'll unpack the rest Hang up the pictures, find my way But tonight I'll look out of the window And let the city say hey Moving boxes constellation Every one a little piece of home Stacked up high in the starlight I am not alone Moving boxes constellation Draw a line from the old to the new Shine, shine, shine on me I'm starting over, and it's true Shine, shine, shine on me Starting over, and it's true
