[Verse 1]
December halls feel empty now
Lunch breaks spent watching you draw
Orion's belt across your page
While others walked on by, so far
[Pre-Chorus]
They called you weird, I called you Starboy
Mapping galaxies in blue ink
While Christmas lights blinked through the frost
You showed me what they couldn't see
[Chorus]
Starboy, painting winter skies
In the margins of your life
Factory smoke dims the stars
But in your eyes, they're burning bright
This Christmas feels like outer space
Just you and me, displaced
[Verse 2]
Dad's steel mill echoes through the snow
Like distant planets' lonely song
Your constellations keep me warm
When family dinners feel so wrong
Middle school outcasts, you and me
Finding peace in entropy
[Bridge]
F*ck their perfect Christmas cards
With happy families, pristine yards
We've got notebook paper stars
And empty parking lots after dark
[Chorus]
Starboy, painting winter skies
In the margins of your life
Factory smoke dims the stars
But in your eyes, they're burning bright
This Christmas feels like outer space
Just you and me, displaced
[Outro]
The cafeteria's still the same
But you've become a shooting star
I trace your patterns in my mind
December's child, that's what we are
That's what we are
