We burn our way through
life
We wish away the weeks
By the hour
We spend our lives away
And span our afternoons
Lying to ourselves
We spin our nights in silence
Pour through forgotten pictures
On our phones
Why can there never, never be
One perfect rainstorm?
Why can there never, never be
One perfect cloudless day?
Why can there never, never be
One perfect landscape?
Why can there never, never be
One perfect plum
Picked from a perfect tree?
We sit in separate rooms
We watch romantic comedies
All alone
We seek our stars by day
And itemize our triumphs
On our own
We keep grinding on and on
We keep chasing that
same old song
Chorus
Emptiness fills our days
In silence we cry out
Yearning in our hearts
We blindly find our way
We go and then we stay
Seeking different parts
And we dream of better days
Taking little along the way
Except the stars
Chorus
