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
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
