Stars Lyrics

As a teen I had a dream and a fuck-ton of self-esteem

Now, I had a plan

We would travel all the world and spread the word

With our band

But then the world came, hit my face

Knocked me down, such a disgrace

Slammed me right there on the floor

Told me to stay down or there'd be more

But it's a long way up when you're starting to climb

And it's a hell of a drop if you fall

And I don't really care about how you see the world

Your light doesn't shine at all

I'm helplessly thinking that someday one of us could be a star

Till then it's blah, blah, blah, all those voices are saying that we'll never make it that far

Why is this so goddamn hard? Why should you even try at all

Just do your best, they said that

Something's wrong inside my head, the teachers said that I'm a mess

There must be something more to this

Something else that I have missed

Because no matter what I do

I end up looking like a fool

But it's a long way up when you're starting to climb

And it's a hell of a drop if you fall

And I don't really care about how you see the world

Your light doesn't shine at all

I'm helplessly thinking that someday one of us could be a star

Till then it's blah, blah, blah, all those voices are saying that we'll never make it that far

Blah, blah, blah, all those voices are still saying that we'll never make it that far

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Well, it's a long way up when you're starting to climb

And it's a hell of a drop if you fall

And I don't really care about how you see the world

Your light doesn't shine at all

I'm helplessly thinking that someday one of us could be a star
