Constellation
Stars aren’t too far way
Just the ones you want to keep
You see them as you lay awake
At night before you fall asleep
Reach out and touch them
If you can
Reach out and grab them
If you can
But try and keep them
You never can
Stars just won’t stay
Laying in bed
Looking at the stars
Out my window
I’m wondering where you are
I close my eyes and I see your face
(But)Then it drifts into outer space
That’s when I came to the realization
You’re nothing but a constellation
Nothing but a shooting star
Why does it have to be so far?
Take a lesson
Learn it well
Pick a star to be yours
Every night pray to it
And watch it as it soars
Above your head
And when all is said
Just wait another day
Use your mind
You’ll come to find
Stars aren’t too far away
That’s when you’ll come to the realization
She’s nothing but a constellation
Nothing but a shooting star
Why does it have to be so far?
Lay alone
Watch the sky
Until your star appears
Then close your eyes
Forget the lies
(And) Burn the light into your tears
There your star will always stay
A memory for another day
Remember all the words I say
Stars aren’t too far away
Someday you’ll all come to the realization
You’re all someone’s constellation
Each of you someone’s shooting star
In this universe that’s all we are
Stars aren’t too far way
Reach out and touch them
If you can
Reach out and grab them
If you can
But try and keep them
You never can
Stars just won’t stay
Stars never stay.
