Every night now I fall asleep
With no one around but the stars
I think of how unfair it is
That they get to be where you are
They get to see you and wish you goodnight
And greet you with the rising sun
I've always simply admired the stars
Now I wish that I could be one
I've started drawing my curtains closed
Just before the sun dips away
But I've forgotten of all the plastic copies
Which over my bed hauntingly play
Squeezing my eyes closed just doesn't work
Neither do clouds in the sky
And it pains me to know that I'll never be one
No matter how hard that I try

Every night now I fall asleep
With no one around but the stars
I think of how unfair it is
That they get to be where you are
They get to see you and wish you goodnight
And greet you with the rising sun
I've always simply admired the stars
Now I wish that I could be one
I've started drawing my curtains closed
Just before the sun dips away
But I've forgotten of all the plastic copies
Which over my bed hauntingly play
Squeezing my eyes closed just doesn't work
Neither do clouds in the sky
And it pains me to know that I'll never be one
No matter how hard that I try
