You're washing away everything

The world means nothing to a dreamer

Their puppets on their strings on the TV screen

It means nothing to me Cardboard believers in nothing





If I could run away, if I could be a star

Would it take too much to save me?

To love you for who you are





The windows are open now, clean free for dreaming

Arms open to the world and all for needing nothing





If I could run away, if I could be a star

Would it take too much to save me?

To love you for who you are





If I could run away, if I could be a star

Would it take too much to save me?

To love you for who you are





I watch my life pass by

(Eyes) I can't keep 'em closed

I've never been afraid to lose





You're damaged goods at best

And you're breaking down on me

You're just like all the rest

Of us you need a meaning

That's nothing





If I could run away, if I could be a star

Would it take too much to save me?

To love you for who you are





If I could run away, if I could be a star

Would it take too much to save me?

Save me





I never walk that line

I never saw the stars fall from the sky

In this night

In this painted light

I watch my dreams go by
