Light Pollution Lyrics

Dust in the air

Lit by the TV

Filling the space

Where you used to be

Moments are rare

When I think about the consequence of

Watching the traffic

When you were right beside me

Was it too hard to see

Our stars in the sky

You used to dream about leaving the city

I always thought that I'd be there by your side

I don't know what you found

Out there in the dark

I'm a city boy

You've got a prairie heart

I guess I should have known

That night on the beach

You said the skyline looks lonely

When I said it looks like home

Was it too hard to see

The truth in my eyes

We always talked about what's over the horizon

I never thought it was passing me by

I know you had you get out of town (know you had to get out)

I know you had to let down your hair (know you had to let down)

Out past the city I know the sky goes on forever

But forever I'll be holding on

Hanging like the dust in the air
