Juliana Hatfield - The Lights lyrics

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
