Let's go and take a starlit drive To where the shaping of our lives Had just begun when we were young When everything was coming right In our dreams of love and life And we could run into the sun Get in the car We're taking a ride We're looking for stars We're looking for satellites Of love Of love Changes coming, changes gone We just want to be someone Behind the tears, behind the tears Nights and days go on and on And things are coming out all wrong And no one hears, and no one hears Get in the car We're taking a ride We're looking for stars We're looking for satellites Get in the car We're taking a ride You'll be the star I'll be your satellite Of love Of love Let's go and take a ride To all those starry nights We used to fly upon when we were young When everything was coming right In all our dreams of love and life And we would run into the sun Nothing's gonna get me down
