The Lights

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
