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      You're light years ahead of me   So bright that I can't 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   I'll try to sleep 'till you come up tonight      And I'll lie down right under the lights   For a little while I can feel all right   A better life is in plain sight   I'll 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      I'd 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   I'll be fine until the sun comes up and dims the light of the night      Come up right down next to me   I don't have to say anything   It's 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   I'll be fine until the time comes to put out all of the lights
