Cassiopeia

by Sara Bareilles

[Verse 1]

Come in close now, it's time to tell a story
Long ago and so many years before we
Ever were, ever dreamed we even could be
There was her and her very first heartbeat

All alone in the corner of the night sky
Spiral bones of a supernova starlight
Fell in love with another burning bright she
Dreamed of a way to ignite she said,

[Chorus]

Tonight
Come on, come on collide
Break me to pieces, I
I think you're just like heaven why

Come on, come on collide
Let's see what a fire feels like
I bet it's just like heaven

Just like heaven
Just like heaven


[Verse 2]

Such a shame
nowhere near, even the near mist light years away
From the hope of being sun-kissed anchored home
in her interstellar sea but, poor lonely Cassiopeia
So she sighs and she burns with desperation
Learns to cry over love of constellations
Then the spark from a star shooting too close
They both smiled what a day to explode, she said

[Chorus]

Tonight
Come on, come on collide
Break me to pieces, I
I think you're just like heaven why

Come on, come on collide
Let's see what a fire feels like
I bet it's just like heaven

Just like heaven
Just like heaven

[Outro]

Long ago in a sky built before us
A supernova grew up to be stardust
