your bright eyes would light me up
with talk of hope in days to come
these days seem to pass so slow
that hope for light’s all life’s become

the distant light strings me along
with every passing day I’m here

stars burn out with shattered dreams
as stars collide in silent screams
and without you I’ve shattered through
like fading stars I’m fading too

I hope these days of yours outside
our sleepy little Midwest town
hold all the things you want in life
without me there to hold you down

I hope life is all you’ve ever dreamed of
without me there to hold you down
