Stargazer

The world is spinning, and I'm dizzy staring at the stars
I left the pages in my schedule, but they're falling hard
Find me on your way out, I'll be right here
The world is spinning, and I'm dizzy staring at the stars

They don't seem so far

The sky is sunny, but the clouds are running in my head
I'm thinking maybe I would rather play the part instead
Don't know what to say now, I'll get my eyesight checked
But I can listen while I'm wishin', staring at the stars

They don't seem so far
They don't seem so far

I’m getting older, and we feel a little colder
The world is trying to get us to trip, fall, rollover

But there is more to prove
These mountains, they can move
Sit tight, buckle up
We ‘bout to hit our groove

I'm closing chapters, looking backwards, and I'm making sense
I'm interested in all that flourishes from ignorance
Nothing in my way now, except for my own years
The world is spinning, and I'm dizzy staring at the stars

It’s hard to know what is real
Got to follow what you feel
Running out of gold
But have a pocketful of zeal
We keep the motor humming
Doesn’t matter what you steal
Just a couple music chefs
Trying to cook our next meal

Playing all these bars
Little stranger than mars
And accumulating scars
Driving hours in the car
The future is ours
I can tell by the stars
They don’t seem so far

Words of wisdom floating all around
"Do it for today, you'll never know tomorrow"
Try to get it right before I hit the ground
If I had a say, I'd do away with sorrow

We can take the long way 'round and still find the way out

All the plans and fears and loving tears that fill up the years
We don't belong to them
And they don't have to belong to us

All we have is now
All we have is now

There's a melody that makes no sound
And we're moved by the music
Even though we all compose it

The separation we see
Is only just a game
We have to find a reason to keep playing

When I promised a song
This isn’t what I had in mind
I should’ve written of love
And all the inspiration left behind

But I’m consumed by unsolvable problems
That have been delayed
I never thought it’d break my heart to hear you say,
“Are you coming over?”

Now I’m sick to my stomach
And I’m staying in bed
The weight of your tears
Keeps pounding my head
It’s not that we’re broken
But something’s not right

I need to tell you
I need to tell you
I need to tell you tonight

I’ll lean into the reasons
Embrace a logical, rational view
Cover up the exposed ends
That realize what I’m doing to you

‘Cuz I can say that it’s right in the long run
But that’s all short runs, anyway
I never thought it’d break my heart to hear you say,
“Are you coming over?”

Now, in this golden light
Will you learn to play your cards right?

You ignore the pleas
And all the rules
Drama for the sport
You should refuse

Always play the fool
Maybe it's just you

How do you sleep at night
When all you ever seem to do is lie?
Now, in this golden light
Will you learn to play your cards right?

Eager for a fight
An insult, too
All the promises
I pray they don't come true

How do you sleep at night
When you know the world is terrified?
If your bark is worse than your bite
Will you learn to play your cards right?

She likes to dance when everyone is sitting
She finds love in the very first meeting
She takes all of my words which is saying something
No matter how hard I try, I can't remember my lines

Anastasia
You make me forget how to speak
Anastasia
You take me to the edge of my seat
I want
I want to show you what I mean but I can't
It's you who stole this scene

She has her head in the clouds and her feet in the earth
She savors every moment, she knows what it's worth
She'll look you deep in your eyes, and let you look into hers
No matter how hard I try, I'm just a little too shy

Feels like I'm watching a movie
It's like I'm living a dream
Feels like I'm watching a movie
Something I've never seen
