I went out that night to look at the view and think
But I made the mistake of letting someone see
And when they saw they told me about how smart I was
Because it was so thoughtful that I looked up at the sky
And they said I was a dreamer
Who looked up at the stars with hopeful eyes
And I couldn't avoid a lie
I couldn't tell them that that night I wasn't watching the stars
But I was watching the headlights fly by
And I was wondering what time would be right
For me to stop staring and take my own life
