Matt Hires - Wishing On Dead Stars lyrics

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 gra** 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.
