Testo The Lights

I follow the path of a falling star

It takes me closer to where you 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 the dark it is 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
