I follow the path of a falling star
|
It takes me closer to where you are, are
|
What can I do, I try to be with you
|
But I can only go so far
|
|
You're light years ahead of me
|
So bright that I can't help but see
|
And you, I know how good it could be
|
|
I try to look outside myself
|
I try to find some outside help
|
I'll try to sleep 'till you come up tonight
|
|
And I'll lie down right under the lights
|
For a little while I can feel all right
|
A better life is in plain sight
|
I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights
|
|
Half a moon is moon enough
|
To get me all the way across the bay
|
A roman candle shoots off from the beach
|
And lightning strikes a place way out of my reach
|
|
I'd say I have the perfect view
|
If only it was always true
|
But in dark is it most of the time
|
|
When I get right down in front of the lights
|
Sometimes I really start to feel all right
|
A better life is in plain sight
|
I'll be fine until the sun comes up and dims the light of the night
|
|
Come up right down next to me
|
I don't have to say anything
|
It's better than any made up fantasy
|
|
Looking out and looking up
|
I can see with my eyes shut
|
This might just be the best time of my life
|
|
And when I get right down in front of the lights
|
Sometimes I really start to feel all right
|
A better life is in plain sight
|
I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights
|
