Little sister, playing hide-and-seek even though mama told you I’m really gone
If you miss me, sneak a peek at my diary or read the peek-a-boo sky that lights the night

I’ll say this once: "Light up the night, stardust"
When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow
It’s okay to feel down
And just remember, that nothing’s made to last
I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass, in passing

La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la

Little sister, ignore local news
Papers come from trees we’ll never climb
What a joke, they made me look so sad
That bad, bad lake’s okay, it washed my hair
And the waves said: "Light up the night, stardust"
When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow
It’s okay to feel down
And just remember, that nothing’s made to last
I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass
That too will pass, that too will pass, that too will pass, in passing

La, la, la, la, la
La, la

In passing, look past the night stardust
(Look past the night)
When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow
(Read all the signs)
It’s okay to feel down
And just remember, that nothing’s made to last
I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass, in passing
Light up the night, stardust
(Light up the night)
When it hurts inside, read all the signs, follow
(Read all the signs)
It’s okay to feel down
And just remember, that nothing’s made to last
I know you’re sad, that too will pass, that too will pass
That too will pass, that too will pass, that too will pass
You'll recall all that, ‘til one day, you too will pass
