lyrics

Lovers stay a while then they pass
Photos fade beneath the glass
All our firsts never last
They’ve gone away

You wish you could erase the past
Hide behind a youthful mask
Time moves too slow then too fast
And flies away

If these old stars would line up perfectly
I’d find a way to let myself be free
If these old stars would shine eternally
I’d find a way to where I’m meant to be

Feelings lift you up then pull you down
Memories of sights and sounds
More are lost than are found
They fade away

You startle at the slightest sound
Your heart and mind so tightly wound
You’ve come undone yet still feel bound
To drift away

If these old stars would line up perfectly
I’d find a way to where I'm meant to be
If these old stars would shine eternally
I’d find a way to let myself be free

If these old stars would line up perfectly
I’d find a way to where I’m meant to be
If these old stars would shine eternally
I’d find a way to give in gracefully
