  • Stars in the sky are gonna die eventually, it's fine
    Just like a lonely satellite, drifting for a little while

    If I don't hear from you tonight
    If I don't hear from you tonight

    And it's so quiet outside, with this curfew lullaby
    Is now an okay time to tell you that I like you?
    I wait for your reply, wait for your reply

    If I don't hear from you tonight
    If I don't hear from you tonight

    Well, I swear I'll never mention this ever again
    But now that I got your attention
    I don't wanna bore the brains outta your head

    All my fears collided
    When our mutual friend confided in me that
    There's a ninety-nine percent chance that it's requited

    I read my Bible left to right
    I fantasize I'm by your side
    I lay awake and wonder why
    I pray for rain and angels cry

    If I don't hear from you tonight
    If I don't hear from you tonight

    Babe, I need reminding, I got feelings too
    And I tried my best to hide them
    But I don't wanna hide anything from you

    Stars in the sky are gonna die eventually, it's fine
    You know that every morning
    I'm rising with you on my mind

    If loving you's a crime
    Then gimme those front page headlines
    Across the country and worldwide
    Singing I won't give up this time

    If I don't hear from you tonight
    I know you probably closed your eyes
    And everything will be alright
    If I don't hear from you tonight
    If I don't hear from you tonight
    If I don't hear from you tonight
    If I don't hear from you tonight
    If I don't hear from you tonight Writer/s: Courtney Barnett
