Last time I talked to you You were lonely and out of place You were looking down on me Lost out in space We laid underneath the stars Strung out and feeling brave I watched the red orange glow I watched you float away Down here in the atmosphere Garbage and city lights You've gone to save your tired soul You've gone to save their lives I turned on the radio To find you on satellite I'm waiting for this sky to fall I'm waiting for a sign All we are Is all so far You're falling back to me You're a star that I can see, yeah I know you're out there Somewhere out there You're falling out of reach Defying gravity, yeah I know you're out there Somewhere out there Hope you remember me When you're home sick and need a change I miss your purple hair I miss the way you taste I know you'll come back someday On a bed of nails, I'll wait I'm praying that you don't burn out Or fade away All we are Is all so far You're falling back to me You're a star that I can see, yeah I know you're out there Somewhere out there You're falling out of reach Defying gravity, yeah I know you're out there Somewhere out there You're falling back to me You're a star that I can see, yeah I know you're out there Somewhere out there You're falling out of reach Defying gravity, yeah I know you're out there Somewhere out there You're falling back to me You're a star that I can see, yeah I know you're out there Somewhere out there You're falling out of reach Defying gravity, yeah I know you're out there Somewhere out there I know I know You're falling out of reach I know
