Miss Constellation, where did you go?
Your heart’s in the clouds
And it’s beating real slow

Your eyes blink with a million stars
Andromeda girl wherever you are
You never really had to think
When your tattoos still had new ink

You’re just a young girl
Constellations on your arms
Silver and gold crossing navy skin
You let everyone see your scars
But you never let them in

Constellation girl, where have you gone?
You ran away at the break of dawn
You’re the lost and found that never shows up
Miss Constellation have you had enough?

You’ve traced the freckles
And dots on your skin
Like train tracks and skylines
In the cities that you’ve been

Miss Constellation, open up your eyes
Drop down the mask
Take off the disguise
Orion in your rearview mirror
It’s not your time to be the hero

Constellation girl where have you gone?
You ran away at the break of dawn
You’re the lost and found that never shows up
Miss Constellation have you had enough?

Star light, star bright
The first star I saw last night
Will you ever see I’m right?
And let your fears fly away

I wouldn’t want to let you go
The hardest thing is always leaving
But your heart is just a cosmic glow
And these silver highways are deceiving

Constellation girl where have you gone?
You ran away at the break of dawn
You’re the lost and found that never showed up
Miss Constellation didn’t you have enough?

Inspired by when I realized one of my friends had Ursa major in freckles on her neck.
