“All My Stars Aligned” is the sixth track off Marry Me (2007), the debut solo album of St. Vincent, the artistic moniker of American singer and guitarist Annie Clark.

[Verse 1]
I read the signs
I got all my stars aligned
My amulets, my charms
I set all my false alarms
So I'll be someone who won't be forgotten
I've got a question and you've got the answer
[Chorus]
I do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it's real
[Verse 2]
I check my palms
The cracks in the sidewalk
My visions and my dreams
I cross all my fingers
That you'll be someone who won't be forgotten
What was your question?
I've got the answer
[Chorus]
I do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it's real
[Bridge]
There are no signs
There are no stars aligned
No amulets, not a charm
To bring you back to my arms
There's just this human heart that's built with this human flaw
What was your question?
Love is the answer
[Chorus]
I do a dance to make the rain come
Smile to keep the sky from falling down, down, down, down
Collect the love that I've been given
Build a nest for us to sleep in here
You know it's real
