I look outside from far above
I watch you sleep and dream, dream out loud
You say you wish that you could find
A guiding light, a guiding hand
A safer place to stand

We've never been so close to be so far
There's millions of reasons, there is no way out
Shall we give up so easy, shall we give up so easy

[Chorus]
Here we are dusting down the stars
Here we are dusting down the stars
Here we are dusting down the stars

Left by the roadside all alone
I turned to speak to you right there but you were gone
You stood and cried and wondered why
You can't return from where we came
Why are we born to fade away?

We've never been so close to be so far
There's millions of reasons, there's no way out
Shall we give up so easy, shall we give up so easy

Here we are dusting down the stars
Here we are dusting down the stars
As I stood outside all alone
Thought I could hear you comin' back into the fold

[Chorus]

We fall apart, we fall apart
Here we are dusting down the stars
As I stood outside all alone

I thought I heard you
