The lights are brighter than the ones in your eyes
Your cheeks caked with blush
I wonder what you're thinking when you're up there
I wonder if you're performing for her
Scene after scene
Line after line
I just want to break down and cry
Because when you look out into the crowd
With that stupid smile on your face
You skip right on past me
I never mattered anyway
You can tap my shoulder all you want
And I'll tell you that you did great
But nothing is sincere
Our entire lives are a play
So tomorrow when you push your hair back
And straighten your tie
I'll be walking out the back door
Forgive me if I don't say goodbye

On starry nights I use to go with you to that place you loved
Where you spent countless hours doing nothing but looking
We often went star gazing together, And being you I thought that was all there was to it
But there was that one night when the meteors showed their colors
The night where your face lit up like the Christmas lights hanging around your room
It was in that moment that I became yours forever

I eventually found clarity on clear nights
The nights where the stars would tell stories of myself
One star told me that she saw me crying one night on the shores, she didn't have the heart to ask me why
Another star told me that she saw me pacing back and forth in my backyard asking myself why I was born
But there's one star that told me this story where he saw me laughing on the beach with some familiar faces. He said it was the first time he saw me smile that season. He saw me smile again when the meteors showed their face that night.
A meteor chimed in and said, 'We took our time that showing up that night because we saw a love rising. Multiple, actually. We saw your face light up more than our trails did every time he spoke."

I can't promise that I'll be the wealthiest man in the world
I can't promise that I'll be able to get you anything you want
I can't promise that there won't be times that we'll argue or be upset with each other
I can't promise that I'll be able to be with you for every second of the day
I can't promise that we'll be in love forever
But
I can promise that I'll try my hardest every single day that each one of those cants  becomes a can.
