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
