|
Stand up straight and close your eyes |
|
Don't look now the evening sun has burned through everyone |
|
We're silhouettes, we're dark as night |
|
Why'd we let the sunshine in when we began |
|
Burned through our hearts and all our plans |
|
But if you don't try you might just succeed at nothing |
|
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort |
|
Sparks fly past your averted eyes |
|
So love just comes and goes |
|
Hold your hand up to the sky |
|
If you could you'd gather every star you'd ever wished on |
|
Interrogating every one |
|
Why'd they have to let you down when |
|
You'd confided all you want is love to light you up |
|
But if you don't try you might just succeed at nothing |
|
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort |
|
Sparks fly past your averted eyes |
|
So love just comes and goes |
|
Now when you look at the stars are you just thinking about |
|
How long ago they burned out |
|
When you're so far away it takes time to see change |
|
These things are bigger than we are |
|
And if you'd try this just might amount to something |
|
There's still danger in never getting hopes up again |
|
Sparks fly and love may come and go but |
|
Your light's much brighter than you know |
|
Don't try, you just might succeed at nothing |
|
Sometimes failure requires a certain effort |
|
Sparks fly past your averted eyes |
|
And love just comes and goes |
