Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Please don't see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies Please see me reaching out for someone I can't see Take my hand let's see where we wake up tomorrow Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand I'd be damned Cupid's demanding back his arrow So let's get drunk on our tears and God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run Searching for meaning But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark? Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy? Woe is me, if we're not careful turns into reality Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer Turn the page maybe we'll find a brand new ending Where we're dancing in our tears and God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run Searching for meaning But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark? I thought I saw you out there crying I thought I heard you call my name I thought I heard you out there crying Just the same God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run Searching for meaning But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark? I thought I saw you out there crying I thought I heard you call my name I thought I heard you out there crying But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark? But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?
