your bright eyes would light me up
with talk of hope in days to come
these days seem to pass so slow
that hope for light´s all life´s become

the distant light strings me along
with every passing day I´m here

stars burn out with shattered dreams
as stars collide in silent screams
and without you I´ve shattered through
like fading stars I´m fading too

I hope these days of yours outside
our sleepy little Midwest town
hold all the things you want in life
without me there to hold you down

I hope life is all you´ve ever dreamed of
without me there to hold you down
