Lyrics The Lights - Juliana Hatfield

The Lights

I follow the path of a falling star
It takes me closer to where you are, are
What can I do, I try to be with you
But I can only go so far
Youre light years ahead of me So bright that I cant help but see
And you, I know how good it could be I try to look outside myself
I try to find some outside help
Ill try to sleep till you come up tonight
And Ill lie down right under the lights
For a little while I can feel all right
A better life is in plain sight
Ill be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights
Half a moon is moon enough
To get me all the way across the bay
A roman candle shoots off from the beach
And lightning strikes a place way out of my reach
Id say I have the perfect view
If only it was always true
But in dark is it most of the time
When I get right down in front of the lights
Sometimes I really start to feel all right
A better life is in plain sight
Ill be fine until the sun comes up and dims the light of the night
Come up right down next to me
I dont have to say anything
Its better than any made up fantasy
Looking out and looking up I can see with my eyes shut
This might just be the best time of my life
And when I get right down in front of the lights
Sometimes I really start to feel all right
A better life is in plain sight
Ill be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights
