Is it asking too much to be given time   To know these songs and to sing them   Is it asking too much of my vacant smile   And my laugh and lies that bring them      But as the stars are going out   And this stage is full of nothing   And the friends have all but gone   For my life, my God, I'm singing      We'll take our hearts outside   Leave our lives behind   I'll watch the stars go out      We'll take our hearts outside   Leave our lives behind   I'll watch the stars go out      Is it asking too much of my favourite friends   To take these songs for real   Is it asking too much of my partner's hands   To take these songs for real      But as the stars are going out   And this stage is full of nothing   And the friends have all but gone   For my life, my God, I'm singing      We'll take our hearts outside   Leave our lives behind   I'll watch the stars go out      We'll take our hearts outside   Leave our lives behind   I'll watch the stars go out      We'll take our hearts outside...      We'll take our hearts outside   Leave our lives behind   I'll watch the stars go out      We'll take our hearts outside   Leave our lives behind   I'll watch the stars go out      We'll take our hearts outside   Leave our lives behind   I'll watch the stars go out      We'll take our hearts outside,   Leave our lives behind,   I'll watch the stars go out      I'll watch the stars go out   I'll watch the stars go out...
