Wishing on Dead Stars |
Back in 92' my folks were trying to get by, |
Watching the stock market climb on the horizon. |
Los Angeles was burning but the wicked still survive, |
You said you couldn’t love me but you’d give it a try. |
The chill in 95' Yeltsin’s finger on the trigger, |
Oklahoma City came knockin on our door. |
The bull was gettin' fat while the rest of us got thinner, |
And I kissed your lips in Saint Augustine but wanted something more. |
We were lovers in broke down cars |
Watching lights over the city’s, crossing hearts and singing |
We’ll never fall apart. |
yeah but we were only kids then, we were only wishing on dead stars |
All the presidents lied while the princess’s died, |
And we braced for another hurricane season. |
There were grass stains on our jeans, there were diamonds in our eyes, |
And my mother said 'never stop believing'. |
We turned an artificial light on in a digital city, |
you can download your heartbreak for free. |
All those zeros and ones can make anything look pretty, |
But the only thing that’s real in this world is you and me. |
We were lovers in broke down cars |
Watching lights over the city’s, crossing hearts and singing |
We’ll never fall apart. |
yeah but we were only kids then, we were only wishing on dead stars |
Wishing on dead stars |
We were growing up fast. |
In the shadow of an ocean |
And our hearts got so big that we couldn’t even hold em' |
Can I hold your hand tonight? |
I cut out the lights on the night of Y2K, |
So I could hold you close and say 'it's not the end' |
Everyone went quiet, there was no where to run away |
you said 'this world won’t last forever, but tonight we can pretend' |
We were lovers in broke down cars |
Watching lights over the city’s, crossing hearts and singing |
We’ll never fall apart. |
yeah but we were only dreamin', we were only dreamin' |
lovers in broke down cars |
Watching lights over the city’s, crossing hearts and singing |
We’ll never fall apart. |
yeah but we were only kids then, we were only wishing on dead stars, |
Wishing on dead stars |
Wishing on dead stars. |
