I sewed myself into your heart Worn-out fingertips that pull your ribs apart I know this time that I won't stop Tired of waiting for the other shoe to drop It's like novocaine for my sorrow when you look my way Just another cure for my heartbreaks, my heartbreaks It's all the same The seasons change And you remain Right under my heart Just call my name And come again I love you just the same Got back to the... I saw myself inside your heart Worn-out photographs and gilded works of art I know for sure that time won't stop Everything we do will always come to naught You're like novocaine for my soul when you look my way You're another cure for my heartache, my heartache It's all the same The seasons change And you remain Right under my heart Just call my name And come again I love you just the same Got back to the start

The solar panel's shining face Is smiling back on me Twisting off into the sun It's okay to be lonely All my missions float away I never trained too hard I'm so caught up in the tree of stars Falling in my backyard She'll always be what I can't find She'll always be where I break down She'll always hide behind a star I'll always dream, she can't be far I've got no Houston to whine down to I've got no protocol Gravity's so far away Wrapped on that shrinking ball I eclipsed my memories Sleeping inside this pod Patient, time will carry me On her back without a sigh And I won't let her down My soul is celestial-bound And if I'm never found She'll always be She'll always be what I can't find She'll always be where I break down She'll always hide behind a star I'll always dream, she can't be far

As I wait upon the city wall The sunrise to the East I can hear the whores and beggars talk Before they're off to sleep In a dreamy haze I see a grave Of earth and ivory No mourners pass no flowers cast Because the man inside is me In the corridors of the city hall Walks a king who weeps And the towers where the prayer's called Tell the secret he can't keep A prince has died, his killer tried The jury does agree An innocent must give his life So a guilty man walks free

I was born so far away I just travel where the wind blows Like summer rain that never ends I never wanted to grow old The lights all around are fireflies that glow It's all okay 'cause I'm holding hands with you Now that you're so far away The winter days move a little slower Through the windowpane I watch the rain Counting droplets as they fall Life has a way of taking all you hold dear And it's all okay 'cause I'm still in love with you
