We’ll ascend

(We’ll ascend to the stars)

I’m your guardian in the dark

(Your guardian in the dark...)

You don't sleep much these days

Staring down a cracked-screen sky

Every little buzz

Every bad headline

Feels like it’s passing you by

I’m there in the glow you ignore

Breathing in your second-hand doubt

Tracing all your scars like constellations

Till the power cuts out

When your heart starts racing

Too loud in your chest

And the dark keeps saying you’re just like the rest

Call me in the silence that swallows your voice

I’m already moving

You’re already my choice

I am your guardian angel

I will save you when you fall

Catch your heart in slow motion

When you’re backed against the wall

I am your guardian angel

When the world feels way too large

Take my hand

We’ll run through darkness

Then ascend to all the stars (all the stars)

If the world disappears

You’re still not alone

I’m the pulse in your fear

I’m the way back home

You say you’re a storm that never passes

I say you’re a flame behind the ashes

If you’re too tired to stand your ground

I’ll be the wings that lift you out|

When the world forgets your name again

I’ll write it high where their hands can’t reach

On a band of light across the night

You’ll believe what I can see

I am your guardian angel

I will save you when you fall

Catch your heart in slow motion

When you’re backed against the wall

I am your guardian angel

When the world feels way too large

Take my hand

We’ll run through darkness

Then ascend to all the stars (all the stars)

We’ll ascend beyond the stars

Past the noise

Past who you are

Till the dawn rewrites your scars

I’m your guardian in the dark
