Constellation street is where the broken people go,
the ones looking for humbled heroes and forgotten dream.
It's where lost ones go when they want to be found
(because everyone needs to be found sometime).

It's a place where dreams go to survive
and I have stars in my eyes
and I never want to let go of your hand.

On Constellation Street, you create
the legends of the gods living in the skies above.
Not everyone's sky will be the same
but we will never run out of stories to share,
still looking for ways to avoid the problems that persist,even here.

On Constellation Street,
the stars are always over your head.
It is a place for hopes, and dreams, and not looking back.

On Constellation Street,
the houses go on forever
so anyone who needs a place to stay
can find a home waiting for them.

There are so many miserable souls here
and I wish I could help them through
but we all have reasons to be here.
One day, we may gain the strength
to leave this place,
the homes we've built
and the friends we've made.

Because everyone has to leave sometime,
return to the lives we lived before--somehow, start anew.
And when I finally figure out what's fucked up with me
I still never want to let go of your hand.
And when I find myself needing to leave,
I hope you come with me.
